Money in the Bank is heading to New Orleans on October 10, bringing with it that insane 82% success rate for briefcase winners, and trust me, the entire WWE locker room knows what’s at stake. We’re already more than halfway through 2026, and while Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, and SummerSlam are in the books, the biggest events are still looming. Oba Femi and all the other big winners from SummerSlam better be ready, because things are about to get real.
The Briefcase Hype and the WarGames Gauntlet
Money in the Bank is the youngest of what’s now considered the “Big Five” pillar shows, but it’s arguably got some of the highest stakes. Those multi-person ladder matches are brutal, but the payoff? Winners get a title shot at any time and any place they choose. With an 82% success rate, that briefcase is basically a guaranteed championship. You know every superstar is eyeing that opportunity to shake up the entire title picture.
Right after that, the action goes global with Crown Jewel returning to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on November 7. And then on November 28, prepare for chaos in Houston when Survivor Series hits, bringing with it the legendary WarGames match. Since 2022, WarGames has taken over Survivor Series, replacing the traditional elimination tags. We’re talking about an enormous steel cage with *two* rings. Dusty Rhodes created this monster in the ’80s, and it’s pure pandemonium. Teams battle, participants enter individually at timed intervals, and you can only win by pinfall or submission once everyone is in. It’s an absolute demolition derby, and it’s must-watch TV.
A New Event and What’s Ahead
Before the year wraps up, WWE has one more huge event on the calendar. Wrestlepalooza, the newest show on the block, is set for Perth, Australia, on December 12. Talk about ending the year with a bang! Plus, we can’t forget Kevin Owens made that emotional, surprise return at SummerSlam after a neck injury that nearly ended his career. It just goes to show you anything can happen in WWE.
So get ready, because these next few months are going to be absolutely wild. With Money in the Bank dropping in New Orleans, the brutality of WarGames hitting Houston, and a brand new event launching in Australia, you don’t want to miss a second of this!
