WWE's Money in the Bank takes place Saturday at 6 p.m. ET on ESPN Unlimited from the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. The premium live event features two ladder matches, one men's and one women's, with six superstars competing in each. The winners walk away with the Money in the Bank briefcase and the opportunity to cash in for a WWE championship match over the next year.
The card also features Roman Reigns defending the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against LA Knight. Knight has been calling for a shot at Reigns' title for two months and finally gets his opportunity to capture heavyweight gold for the first time. Elsewhere, Oba Femi and Bronson Reed meet in a singles match for the first time, and Stephanie Vaquer challenges Becky Lynch and Liv Morgan in a triple-threat Women's World Championship match, a bout Vaquer requested and Raw GM Adam Pearce granted.
ESPN asked wrestling contributors Sean Coyle, Joe Fortenbaugh and Juliana Daddio to predict the ladder match winners. For the women's match, Daddio and Coyle both picked Roxanne Perez, who could break away from The Judgment Day and become a singles threat. Fortenbaugh also backed Perez, pointing to the faction's rivalries with Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez.
For the men's match, the panel offered differing views. Daddio called it a toss-up between Bron Breakker and Kevin Owens, while Coyle chose Penta, who has risen rapidly and delivered a strong world title match with Reigns in Mexico City last month. Fortenbaugh went with Breakker, arguing that what matters most in Money in the Bank is what happens after the briefcase is unhooked.
