WWE Breaking Down Each Qualifying Win
Bron Breakker kicked off the qualifying gauntlet in style. In a hard-hitting triple-threat against Rey Mysterio and Ethan Page on the September 7 Raw from Birmingham, the World Tag Team Champion pinned Mysterio to become the first Superstar to book his spot in New Orleans. It was a statement win, reinforcing Breakker’s reputation as one of WWE’s most physically dominant rising stars — and a serious threat to whoever else makes it into the match.
Je’Von Evans delivered the second big moment of the qualifying stretch. Competing in a three-way showdown against Austin Theory and Big Cass on the September 14 Raw from Mexico City, Evans showed off his trademark high-flying instincts, planting Cass with the OG Cutter for the pin. The win cements Evans as one of the most exciting young talents heading into Money in the Bank, and a genuine dark-horse pick for the briefcase itself.
Why This Year’s MITB Feels Different
Two things make the 2026 edition stand out. First, it’s the earliest-ever October date for the event, breaking from its usual summer slot. Second, it’s the first Money in the Bank to follow SummerSlam rather than lead into it, which changes the championship picture entering the match — title feuds from summer are still fresh, and a new briefcase holder could immediately shake things up heading into the fall and winter stretch.
The Money in the Bank ladder match format itself has become one of WWE’s signature match types since its introduction, a concept detailed further on Wikipedia.
