Five early favourites for WWE Women’s Money in the Bank 2026 named ahead of New Orleans PLE
Five early favourites to win the WWE Women’s Money in the Bank 2026 ladder match include Tatum Paxley, Blake Monroe, Lola Vice, Roxanne Perez and Sol Ruca, the promotion has signalled as the build intensifies. The event is scheduled for October 10, 2026, at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.
WWE will present Money in the Bank 2026 as a Premium Live Event that will include the annual men’s and women’s Money in the Bank ladder matches. Multiple WWE superstars have already qualified for the women’s bout as the promotion finalises its build toward the card.
Tatum Paxley is one of the recent additions to SmackDown after being called up from NXT and has aligned with Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss. Paxley’s unpredictability and her current alliance have positioned her among the early contenders to capture the Money in the Bank briefcase and move rapidly into title contention.
Blake Monroe arrived from NXT and has been at the centre of a feud with Giulia without wrestling a match on Friday Night SmackDown since her debut on the brand. The Glamour has been described as mysterious in her run and is considered capable of making an immediate impact by winning the women’s ladder match.
Lola Vice secured her place in the Money in the Bank field by outlasting Raquel Rodriguez and Kelani Jordan in a qualifying match on Raw in Mexico City. Monday Night Vice enjoyed a notable NXT run, including capturing the Women’s NXT title, and that background underpins suggestions she could be booked strongly on Raw by becoming Ms. Money in the Bank 2026.
Roxanne Perez has been a regular on Raw since her main roster call-up and formed an alliance with The Judgment Day last year. She has been a steady performer on the red brand and has also become part of AAA, factors cited as reasons WWE might initiate a singles push that leads to a Money in the Bank victory.
Sol Ruca’s main roster breakthrough involved a rivalry with Becky Lynch and culminated in her winning the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship. The high-flyer has qualified for the Money in the Bank ladder and is listed among the favourites to translate that momentum into claiming the briefcase and earning a future women’s title opportunity.
Money in the Bank 2026 is set for October 10, 2026, at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans; Roman Reigns vs LA Knight for the World Heavyweight title has been announced for the Premium Live Event, which will also feature the men’s and women’s Money in the Bank ladder matches.
