Oba Femi defeated Bronson Reed on Saturday at WWE Money in the Bank 2026 in New Orleans, continuing a run of momentum that has followed him since his win over Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam. The singles bout was the third match on the card and saw Femi overcome a late interference attempt from The Vision to secure the pinfall.
According to Wrestling Inc, Femi kicked out of Reed’s Tsunami splash during the closing stretch of the match, a finishing move that has ended many of Reed’s bouts in the past. The kick-out set up a dramatic final sequence that ultimately turned in Femi’s favor.
Per F4W Online and POST Wrestling, the finish saw members of The Vision run to ringside to interfere on Reed’s behalf. Maxxine Dupri handed Reed a pair of brass knuckles in an apparent attempt to help him steal the win. Reed used the knuckles to strike Femi, but the interference was not enough to prevent Femi from ultimately scoring the pinfall victory.
Fightful noted that the match marked Bronson Reed’s first televised match since February 2026, when he suffered a distal biceps tear in his right arm. His return to in-ring competition at a premium live event the size of Money in the Bank underscores the significance WWE placed on reintroducing him in a high-profile setting, even in a losing effort.
The victory extends Femi’s streak of high-profile wins following his triumph over Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, continuing to build him as a rising force on the roster. The Vision’s involvement in the finish also keeps that faction entangled in Femi’s storyline, suggesting their rivalry with him is not yet settled.
Elsewhere on the Money in the Bank card, Stephanie Vaquer defended the women’s world title in a triple threat match against Becky Lynch and Liv Morgan, according to NoDQ, though full results of that bout were not detailed in the available reporting.
