Why ‘The Unpredictable Badass’ Should Win the 2026 Men’s Money in the Bank Match
On the September 7th episode of Monday Night Raw, Bron Breakker qualified for the 2026 Men’s Money in the Bank Match after defeating Ethan Page and Rey Mysterio. ‘The Unpredictable Badass’ became the first man to qualify for the match, with the rest of the competition to be decided within the coming weeks. Another qualifier will take place on the September 14th Mexico City edition of Raw between Je’Von Evans, Big Cass, and Austin Theory. Most would expect Evans to win that qualifier due to ‘The Young OG’ being fit for that type of match style; nonetheless, Breakker is a favorite to win the briefcase, as is someone like Trick Williams.
‘The Unpredictable Badass’ is a former two-time Intercontinental Champion, as well as a two-time and current World Tag Team Champion alongside Theory. Breakker arguably had the biggest match of his career this past Labor Day weekend at Sunday Night’s Main Event, where he and ‘The Ruler’ Oba Femi tried to determine who would be the future of WWE. The match ended in a disqualification when Bronson Reed returned from his injury to rejoin The Vision and attacked Femi with a steel chair. Reed ended up hitting four Tsunamis on ‘The Ruler,’ and the former two-time Intercontinental Champion hit two Spears.
Anyone who’s seen Breakker over the past year and a half since he speared IShowSpeed in half at the 2025 Royal Rumble knows how special a talent Breakker will be and that ‘The Unpredictable Badass’ will be a big cornerstone in WWE’s future. It’s just that the former two-time Intercontinental Champion is a heel, and how beloved Femi is as a babyface, it gives the WWE Universe a reason to boo. That could all change come Money in the Bank. ‘The Unpredictable Badass’ pulling the briefcase down could instantly be a threat to Roman Reigns and The Bloodline. Many have waited to see Reigns vs. Femi or Reigns vs. Breakker, and either of those could be happening sooner than we could expect.
Femi will undoubtedly be a World Champion sooner rather than later. ‘The Ruler’ forwent his title opportunity after winning the 2026 King of the Ring Tournament just to have the chance to retire Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam inside Hell in a Cell. He could challenge Reigns sometime after Survivor Series: WarGames, or perhaps by the 2027 Royal Rumble. Femi could win the championship against Reigns, and Breakker could come out with his briefcase and The Vision and destroy ‘The Ruler’ just like at Sunday Night’s Main Event, cashing in to win his first World Championship. We could see the shift WWE is trying to showcase with their young talent in Breakker, Femi, Williams, and Evans. Having a generational rivalry between ‘The Unpredictable Badass’ and ‘The Ruler’ could be what WWE needs to lead the future.
Both men are on the verge of winning their first World Championship. If Femi wins, the crowd would go bananas; however, if Breakker came out and destroyed ‘The Ruler’ like he’s done before alongside Reed, Theory, Logan Paul, and Maxxine Dupri of The Vision, ‘The Unpredictable Badass’ could ruin the moment for Femi and the WWE Universe, which is what WWE wants to build a credible, outstanding heel. However, even if it’s not Femi and it’s Reigns, the same thing could happen. Even though ‘The Tribal Chief’ has The Bloodline behind him, The Vision evens out the numbers game, which could give Breakker the opportunity if presented against a worn-down or hurt Reigns.
Having Breakker as the 2026 Money in the Bank winner would only solidify his greatness even further at such a young age. The former two-time Intercontinental Champion has been on the cusp of being on top of the mountain for a while now, and this could be WWE’s perfect time to pull it off. We’ve been eager to see ‘The Unpredictable Badass’ continue his feud with Femi or start one with the World Heavyweight Champion, Reigns. Breakker would be a perfect fit for the superstar who should win the briefcase and could continue dominating Monday Night Raw and WWE as a potential future World Champion.
