Oba Femi survives brass knuckles attack to beat Bronson Reed at WWE Money in the Bank in New Orleans
Oba Femi defeated Bronson Reed at WWE Money in the Bank 2026 in New Orleans on October 10, 2026, overcoming a ringside brass knuckles attack to secure the victory with Fall from Grace.
The bout, the third match on the Money in the Bank card, was the first singles meeting between the two heavyweights and stemmed from a feud that began after Reed returned at Sunday Night’s Main Event in Atlanta last month and targeted Femi during his clash with Vision stablemate Bron Breakker. Paul Heyman was shown watching the match from backstage as both men exchanged heavy blows early on.
Reed seized early control, driving Femi shoulder-first into the apron before diving through the ropes and continuing the assault inside the ring. He kept up the pressure with a senton and went for a pin, which Femi kicked out of at two, after which Reed hit a DDT and climbed the ropes seeking a Tsunami.
Femi evaded the aerial attempt and rallied amid chants of “OBA” from the crowd, landing a spinebuster that produced a two-count. Reed then executed a Death Valley Driver and went back to the top for a moonsault, but Femi moved and countered with a large uppercut.
The match featured outside interference: Austin Theory ran in to distract Femi while Logan Paul entered the ring with a chair but was caught by the official and banned from ringside. Meanwhile Maxxine Dupri handed Reed brass knuckles, which Reed used to deliver two brutal punches before hitting a Tsunami and covering Femi, who again kicked out.
After Reed’s moonsault attempt failed, Femi capitalised, striking Reed with an uppercut, driving Theory into the ring apron, and then hitting Fall from Grace to pin Reed and win the contest. Heyman was later shown backstage appearing to enjoy Femi’s victory.
Earlier on the Money in the Bank card, Roman Reigns successfully defended the World Heavyweight title against LA Knight in the first match of the premium live event, and Tiffany Stratton won the 2026 Money in the Bank ladder match, becoming the second woman to capture the briefcase twice.
The next WWE premium live event after Money in the Bank 2026 is Crown Jewel, scheduled for November 7, 2026, at the Riyadh Season Stadium in KAFD, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
