Roman Reigns losing his championship and CM Punk collecting another Money in the Bank briefcase? WWE 2K26 has served up a virtual version of the event with plenty for fans to debate.
Ahead of Money in the Bank 2026 in New Orleans on Saturday, October 10, a simulation using the wrestling game has come out with some huge twists. The standout result belongs to LA Knight, whose digital showdown with Reigns ends with the World Heavyweight Championship changing hands. While these are game-generated outcomes, not confirmed results, if WWE delivers anything close to this simulation, it could be quite a night.
In the simulation, run by All Out Gaming, Knight starts strongly against Reigns, only for the champion to wrestle back control and land a spear. Crucially, the challenger survives the pin attempt.
A first BFT also fails to settle matters, with Reigns kicking out to keep his reign alive. Knight then follows a top-rope elbow drop with another BFT, this time securing the three-count.
It is the simulation’s biggest upset: the Tribal Chief beaten and Knight finally holding the title he has been chasing.
CM Punk claims a third briefcase
The men’s ladder match delivers another headline result, with CM Punk outlasting Bron Breakker, Je’Von Evans, Trick Williams, Penta and Kevin Owens. Punk and Owens initially prevent Breakker from imposing himself, while Williams enjoys a spell on top against Penta and Evans.
A Trick Shot takes Owens out of the immediate action before Punk stops Williams with a GTS. The decisive opening comes when Breakker distracts Evans.
Punk capitalises by climbing to retrieve the contract, giving him a third Money in the Bank victory in this virtual scenario.

The Prodigy picks her moment amid the chaos
Roxanne Perez takes the women’s briefcase after a frantic battle involving Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, Jacy Jayne, Lash Legend and Tiffany Stratton. Legend frustrates Perez’s early attempt by pushing away her ladder.
Perez later returns the favour, leaving Legend hanging from the briefcase before she falls without securing it. The winning opportunity comes through timing rather than brute force.
Perez strikes Stratton and Ruca with a chair, checks that her other rivals are occupied outside and climbs to claim the prize. A typically strategic victory for The Prodigy.
Morgan turns a chaotic title fight her way
Stephanie Vaquer’s Women’s World Championship defence against Becky Lynch and Liv Morgan produces the second title change. Morgan initially absorbs attention from both opponents, while Lynch uses the triple threat’s no-disqualification rules to bring a kendo stick into play.

Morgan fights back with the Three Amigos on Lynch, before Vaquer attacks her with a chair. After surviving Lynch’s Manhandle Slam, Morgan lands a codebreaker and rolls up Vaquer near the ropes to win the championship.
Reed wins the battle of the powerhouses
Bronson Reed completes the simulated results with victory over Oba Femi. Two early running powerbombs establish Reed’s threat, although Femi survives a Death Valley Driver and Tsunami combination and responds with slams and running uppercuts.
A third running powerbomb finally finishes the job for Reed. Whether any of these virtual outcomes translates to New Orleans remains the real question.
