Bron Breakker is one of five confirmed entrants in WWE’s Oct. 10, 2026, men’s Money in the Bank match in New Orleans, with one spot still open. Forbes argues another loss could further cloud his singles prospects, as Penta is reportedly WWE’s internal favorite to win.
Penta lost a World Heavyweight Championship match to Roman Reigns on Raw, but WWE officials reportedly viewed his performance as that of a full-fledged main-eventer. A week later, he replaced Solo Sikoa in a qualifying triple threat and won, prompting WWE to alter its Money in the Bank plans, according to the article.
Breakker’s 2026 trajectory had already been disrupted: Forbes says an injury and creative changes derailed plans for him to win the Royal Rumble and face CM Punk at WrestleMania 42. He later lost his feud with Seth Rollins and a world-title match against Punk, then moved into a tag team with Austin Theory. The article says WWE has heavily backed Oba Femi, whom it calls the favorite for the 2027 Royal Rumble.
