WWE Money in the Bank 2026 and Physical 100: Mexico

I watched the WWE Money in the Bank 2026 PLE, and I thought that it was a fun event. It started off with a good Championship match between Roman Reigns and LA Knight. There were a lot of near-falls, and I did think that LA Knight could have won it at some points, but Reigns won in the end in a clean finish. Tiffany Stratton won the Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match, and while she was a favorite to win it and has a built-in potential feud with Chelsea Green, I wanted someone else to win it like Roxanne Perez. Some of the big spots that they did were crazy, and there were some big bumps that did not look safe. Stratton landed on the back of her head, two other competitors slid off a ladder that somehow slid from the ropes onto the floor. Bronson Reed, I thought, looked good against Oba Femi and really did some good work in the ring. With Reed losing weight, he flew a bit more and just was able to do more things. Femi though is at this point just in a holding pattern until WrestleMania to face off with Roman Reigns for the WWE Heavyweight Championship. Femi is clearly being positioned, and rightfully so, to be the next World Champion and to carry the company as well. The triple threat between Morgan, Lynch and Vaquer was good, but probably the least memorable of the bouts of the night with Morgan regaining her Title. The Men’s Money in the Bank was good as well with some memorable spots like Je’Von Evans falling from the top of a tall ladder into an ambulance. Bron Breakker was, in my opinion, the standout of the match spearing everyone and doing some athletic things. CM Punk and Kevin Owens kept fighting each other and seemed kind of on their own island in this match. Penta ended up winning, and after coming off that match with Roman Reigns and increasingly gaining popularity, I thought this was a good pick to win. I can see him cashing in on Sami Zayn.

My wife and I finished watching Physical 100: Mexico. We just cannot get enough of these Physical 100 shows. I have to say that this was probably one of the weaker Physical 100 iterations. While having luchadors was fun, especially for me being a professional wrestling fan, they weren’t the strongest competitors. In my opinion, it was noticeable that the competitors for this iteration just did not have a plethora of really high-level athletes. Not to say that they weren’t good, but other iterations have a lot more wrestlers, judoka, Olympic level athletes and the like, whereas Physical 100: Mexico just had a small handful of this level of athlete. Nonetheless, the vibe was different as the competitor stories were a lot more personal, and the camaraderie between the competitors just seemed much more prevalent. In the final four was a woman, which I think is the first time that a female competitor made it that far. The winner was Ángel Quintero, who is an obstacle racer, endurance athlete, and Spartan/HYROX competitor, and like many of the better competitors, he was very well-rounded. Next up in the Physical 100 series looks to be Physical 100: France, and it looks like Physical 100: USA is being worked on.
