WWE is in full Money in the Bank build mode with qualifying matches dominating the week’s coverage, while major returns, title changes, and upper-card shuffles are keeping the main event scene volatile. Roman Reigns, Sami Zayn, and several returning wrestlers are driving the narrative as the company balances multiple simultaneous storylines across Raw and SmackDown.
#1. Roman Reigns
Reigns is operating as the de facto centerpiece of WWE’s main event scene, defeating Penta on Raw in Mexico City and drawing immediate follow-up segments. He holds the World Heavyweight Championship and remains the focal point of multiple potential challenger threads heading into Money in the Bank.

#2. Sami Zayn
Zayn recaptured the Undisputed WWE Championship from Kevin Owens on SmackDown in a finish that required improvisation, immediately becoming the conversation point for SmackDown’s main event direction. His positioning as champion despite Jim Ross’s public doubts about his WrestleMania draw keeps him prominently featured.

#3. Seth Rollins
Rollins is being advertised for his return to WWE programming tonight after being absent since SummerSlam, with both WWE and the venue promoting his appearance. His comeback following extended time away naturally elevates his profile and suggests imminent involvement in high-profile angles.
#4. Kevin Owens
Owens’s recent program with Sami Zayn, including the improvised SmackDown finish, keeps him firmly in the upper-card picture and suggests his Money in the Bank involvement. The storyline between him and Zayn remains hot enough to drive weekly coverage.
#5. Chad Gable
Gable is actively defending the Intercontinental Championship against high-quality opposition like Dragon Lee, with Seth Rollins publicly praising his development as a worker. His defensive success and critical acclaim position him as a credible mid-card draw with upward trajectory.

#6. Bayley
Bayley has a featured Raw match against Lyra Valkyria in the Money in the Bank buildup, suggesting her involvement in the women’s championship picture. Her recent return and immediate placement in meaningful matches indicate sustained main roster momentum.
#7. Dragon Lee
Dragon Lee is competing for Money in the Bank qualification and defending the Intercontinental Championship against Chad Gable on Raw, keeping him visible in both qualifying and title picture narratives. His international prominence and featured status on multiple shows suggest consistent positioning.
#8. Penta
Penta is drawing direct follow-up angles after his loss to Roman Reigns, with a scheduled segment on Raw this week promising continuation of his main event involvement. His mask and lucha credibility keep him at the forefront of WWE’s international appeal.
#9. Natalya
Natalya generated significant interview coverage this week discussing her desire to turn heel and model herself after Fabulous Moolah, signaling creative interest in a character pivot. Her veteran status and willingness to pursue a dark direction suggests imminent angle development.
#10. Logan Paul
Paul’s Pentagon visit and military appearance alongside his brother Jake generated prominent coverage, keeping him in the celebrity-crossover conversation even outside competition. His earlier title involvement and celebrity profile maintain his relevance in WWE’s media landscape.
Mason Rook’s early NXT impression and endorsement from John Cena makes him one to monitor as a potential breakout prospect, though he lacks the current main roster volume of top-ten candidates.
