Why Roxanne Perez should win the 2026 WWE Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match
Roxanne Perez is being put forward as a leading choice to win the WWE Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans on October 10, 2026. Proponents argue her combination of prior championship experience and ladder-match savvy makes her a compelling candidate for the briefcase.
Money in the Bank is a key premium live event for WWE that can supply a potential title contender for nearly a year, and the 2026 women’s ladder match features Tiffany Stratton, Women’s United States Champion Jacy Jayne, Lash Legend, Sol Ruca, Lola Vice and Roxanne Perez. On paper Perez is not the most obvious selection among that group, but the article contends she combines experience, youth, history and long-term upside; Perez is 24 years old.
Perez’s in-ring résumé cited in the piece includes nearly 385 days as WWE NXT champion across two separate reigns and the distinction of being the first-ever Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge winner. Those achievements are presented as evidence she has already built a résumé many performers take years to amass.
The article notes Perez is the only performer in this year’s women’s match with previous Money in the Bank experience and argues she can turn the match’s chaos to her advantage, adding that the point “is clearly understandable for the fan base.”
Addressing recent form, the piece states Perez has not enjoyed the smoothest 2026 and therefore has an opportunity to turn what it describes as a disappointing run into the biggest breakthrough of her main-roster career; the write-up adds that WWE has already provided the perfect first chapter for such a turnaround.
A further line of argument focuses on storytelling potential: Perez could use the briefcase as a long-term character vehicle, spending months teasing a cash-in, manipulating champions, creating paranoia within the women’s division and using The Judgment Day connection to make every appearance feel unpredictable. The article emphasises she would not need to cash in the next night and that, when the moment arrives, her first main-roster world championship opportunity could be made to feel enormous.
Money in the Bank 2026 is scheduled for October 10 at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana; the men’s ladder match qualifiers named in the source are Bron Breakker, Je’Von Evans, Trick Williams, Penta, CM Punk and Kevin Owens.
