Tiffany Stratton, Kevin Owens the last ones to qualify for the 2026 Money in the Bank ladder matches
WWE’s Money in the Bank premium live event is always one of the more exciting shows on the schedule for the year.
The two major bouts on the card include men’s and women’s ladder matches. The wrestler has to climb the ladder to retrieve a briefcase hanging above the ring. The briefcase contains a guaranteed title shot anywhere, anytime against a champion.

On “Friday Night SmackDown,” the Money in the Bank fields were finalized.
Kevin Owens pinned Johnny Gargano in a triple-threat match, which included Cody Rhodes, to become the last one on the men’s side to qualify. Rhodes thought he had the match won when Randy Orton interfered and cost him the victory. Rhodes and Orton brawled as “The American Nightmare” took his eye off the ball. As Owens pinned Gargano, Orton held onto Rhodes’ legs and kept him from breaking up the pin.
Tiffany Stratton became the last wrestler to enter the Women’s Money in the Bank match. As young as Stratton is, she has much experience in this match and very much could be a favorite to win it. Stratton won the match in 2024 and later cashed in on Nia Jax to win the WWE Women’s Championship.
