Yahoo Sports has published predictions for the 2026 WWE Money in the Bank event, framing the card as a possible showcase for younger performers while weighing them against established names. The preview’s suggestions are forecasts, not confirmed match outcomes.

The writer points to recent NXT call-ups and lists Je’Von Evans, Bron Breakker, Tiffany Stratton, Jacy Jayne, Roxanne Perez, Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, Lash Legend and Oba Femi among performers receiving prominent opportunities.

For the men’s Money in the Bank match, the preview names Evans, Breakker, Trick Williams, Penta, CM Punk and Kevin Owens. It considers several possible winners, but says Punk and Owens appear the likeliest contenders in the writer’s view.

The article also suggests Perez could have a breakout moment beyond the shadow of her Judgment Day stablemates. It raises Oba Femi’s prospects and says Roman Reigns is likely to close the show with a championship match. Becky Lynch is mentioned as a possible Women’s World Champion.

The supplied article text cuts off as the writer begins to state a preference between Punk and Owens. Its final pick and any later predictions are therefore unavailable.
