WWE is holding a traditional PPV after close to 2 months following SummerSlam 2026. They would want to make a Splash with Surprises throughout the PPV. Fans have gone cold on WWE in recent months and it is only after SummerSlam that the creative direction for WWE has improved drastically. They can shock the WWE fans and also set up storylines for the future leading into WrestleMania 43. WWE Money in the Bank 2026 will take place on 10th October 2026.
Let's look at the Surprises to expect at Money in the Bank 2026
Naomi
Naomi has been out of WWE action for close to 14 months. She has had her baby and also had 5-6 months of recovery post that. And WWE has introduced Jaida Parker into the Bloodline vs 946 storyline and there has to be a reason for that. Naomi is also the wife of Jimmy Uso. Therefore this would be personal to her and the fans would be ecstatic to see her return. She can immediately be inserted as the babyface hero with The Bloodline as they fight 946.
Rhea Ripley
Rhea Ripley is another woman that has been out of WWE action for close to 4 months. She has been injured and has been recovering. Her absence is missed especially on SmackDown where they could use her. Rhea Ripley is arguably the biggest star in women's wrestling and if she returns at this PPV then the 10,000 fans would lose their minds. There is a champion vs champion match at Crown Jewel on 7th November. Rhea Ripley should win the WWE Women's Championship on SmackDown before then.
946
946 Faction has not been advertised for this show and so their appearance will definitely be a surprise. Roman Reigns is facing LA Knight for the World Heavyweight Championship and 946 will look to cost the leader of The Bloodline his title. Till now Roman Reigns has not been bothered by the 946 group but if LA Knight beats Roman Reigns then 946 will have to tend with The OTC. Royce Keys has established the dominant heel group on Raw and Jaida Parker has been added to the group.
Bron Breakker
Oba Femi is facing Bronson Reed at the PPV. This will be a huge match for the Australian Tsunami and it would be a good surprise if Bron Breakker comes out to help his fellow Vision member. Bronson Reed would need all the help he can get and there can be no better help than the unpredictable Badass Bron Breakker. Logan Paul and Austin Theory will also be there to help Bronson Reed but Bron Breakker will be the Big surprise.
