WWE Money in the Bank 2026 Bronson Reed Oba Femi

The end result of Oba Femi versus Bronson Reed never really was in doubt – provided that WWE didn’t overthink things and try to outsmart themselves or swerve fans.

Reed provided a decent “monster of the month” challenge for Femi, using his size to keep Oba on his back foot, but also to create the eye-popping spots when The Ruler fired up and threw his opponent around.

Bronson and Oba traded clotheslines and power moves until the Aussie took control for a bit. However, Femi caught a corner splash and dropped Reed with a spinebuster. The Vision predictably ran interference, allowing Reed to tattoo Oba with brass knuckles twice and hit a Tsunami… for a two-count. A Jagged Edge set up a moonsault, which missed, allowing Femi to run wild with a running European uppercut, pizza toss, and Fall From Grace for the visually impressive win.

As a diversionary feud, this was fine, but if WWE is serious about crowning Femi as their next big thing, they’re going to need to get him on course in these next couple of months so fans are clamoring for him to win the Royal Rumble (assuming that is the path) and dethrone Roman Reigns.
