5 WWE superstars who should not win the Money in the Bank 2026 ladder match

WWE Money in the Bank 2026 is the next Premium Live Event for the TKO-led company. It was moved from its regular mid-summer slot to October this year and is heading to New Orleans for the first time. A few weeks ago, the qualifying bouts for both Men's and Women's ladder matches began with some superstars securing their slots, while others are getting prepped for their opportunities to qualify. As of this writing, here are five WWE stars who should not leave victorious with the Money in the Bank briefcase this year:5. Charlotte FlairCharlotte Flair is one of the most accomplished female WWE superstars of all time. After losing the Women's title match at WrestleMania 41, Flair slowly transitioned into the tag team division, working with rising talents like Michin, B-Fab, Tatum Paxley, and more. While Flair is announced for a qualifier match, in her veteran phase and with an established resume, she doesn't need to win the Money in the Bank ladder match.4. Lola ViceLola Vice's debut on RAW was well-hyped with captivating vignettes. However, the reaction to her entrance was extremely flat, and the overall debut didn't live up to expectations despite her MITB qualifier win. While she is a remarkable performer and had a great stint in NXT, Vice still needs big-league experience and shouldn't win the Money in the Bank match this year.3. Je'Von EvansJe'Von Evans is undoubtedly one of the captivating stars on the Monday Night RAW roster. The Young OG got called up to the main roster this year and has been a part of some incredible matches so far, including securing a place in this year’s Money in the Bank ladder match. However, Evans should wait to win a prime opportunity like Money in the Bank, as it leads straight to the World title, and should get some experience with a run as a mid-card champion first.2. IYO SkyIYO Sky is another well-established name in the WWE Women's division who will compete in a Money in the Bank qualifier next week. The Genius of the Skies has been around the Women's Championship for a long time and shouldn't be booked to win the MITB briefcase, allowing other rising talents to step up to the occasion.1. CM PunkAfter losing the Undisputed WWE Championship, CM Punk is set to compete in a Money in the Bank qualifier match next week. Although he could make history by winning the Money in the Bank a record three times this year, Punk's megastar status and illustrious career don't call for this victory; instead, it should go to someone in a strong push as the next top WWE star.Also read: WWE star Cody Rhodes sends a blunt warning to Randy Orton in unaired WWE SmackDown footageGet the latest Sports News and Live updates.
