October 11, 2026 — WWE’s Money in the Bank delivered a night of shakeups Saturday at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, where Penta and Tiffany Stratton captured the coveted briefcases and Liv Morgan walked out with the Women’s World Championship.
Penta won the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match, defeating Bron Breakker, CM Punk, Kevin Owens, Trick Williams and Je’Von Evans in front of 12,935 fans. The high-flying star outlasted a field stacked with former champions to claim the briefcase and its guaranteed future title shot.
Stratton won the women’s ladder match for the second time in her career, outlasting Roxanne Perez, Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, Lash Legend and Jacy Jayne. Her second briefcase win cements her status as one of the company’s fastest-rising stars and puts every women’s champion on notice.
The night’s biggest title change came in a triple threat match, as Liv Morgan defeated Stephanie Vaquer and Becky Lynch to capture the Women’s World Championship. The three-way bout delivered the evening’s most dramatic finish and a new champion for the division.
Roman Reigns retained the World Heavyweight Championship against LA Knight, and Oba Femi defeated Bronson Reed to round out the card. The event marked the first Money in the Bank to stream on ESPN in the United States, a milestone in WWE’s new media era.
Backstage, the mood was described as electric, with the New Orleans crowd staying loud from the opening bell to the final match. Premium live events have become WWE’s signature showcase, and Saturday’s show reinforced why the Money in the Bank concept remains one of the most anticipated nights on the wrestling calendar.
With both briefcase holders now holding guaranteed championship opportunities, the road ahead is wide open. The fallout begins to unfold on Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown, where new rivalries — and new targets for the briefcase winners — are expected to take shape in the weeks ahead.
