Oba Femi defeated Bronson Reed at WWE Money in the Bank 2026, surviving not only Reed’s devastating Tsunami but also an attempted assist from The Vision at ringside. In a matchup built around two imposing heavyweights, Femi withstood Reed’s pressure, kicked out after the splash, and delivered Fall From Grace for the deciding pinfall.
The result came after a physical contest in which both men repeatedly tried to establish that their power could not be matched. Reed had Femi down following a brass-knuckles shot arranged by Theory, and he appeared to have the match won after connecting with Tsunami. Femi’s kick-out changed the direction of the bout entirely. Reed’s attempt to add a moonsault missed, allowing Femi to create the opening he needed for his finishing move.
Power meets power from the opening bell
There was no slow feeling-out process between Femi and Reed. The match opened with the two men meeting shoulder-to-shoulder in the middle of the ring, neither immediately able to force the other backward. It was a brief but effective stalemate that established the central question of the contest: which of these massive athletes could impose his will when strength alone was no longer enough?
Femi broke that deadlock. A running tackle sent Reed flying and gave Femi the early advantage, demonstrating that Reed would not simply be able to overwhelm him by size and momentum. Reed attempted to answer with a suplex, but Femi reversed the situation and launched Reed instead. The impact sent Reed to the floor, where he took a moment before attempting to return to the ring.

Femi did not appreciate the delay. Rather than wait for Reed to recover on the outside, Femi exited the ring and brought his opponent back toward the apron. The decision showed Femi’s urgency to keep control, but it also created Reed’s first major opportunity. Reed countered by dropping Femi on the apron with a backdrop suplex, turning the ringside area into a punishing extension of the match.
From there, Reed began to build the kind of offense that has made him so dangerous. He drove Femi into the ringside stairs, then connected with a suicide dive. The sequence gave Reed time and space to bring Femi back inside the ring, where the larger objective became clear: get Femi in place for Tsunami.
Bronson Reed repeatedly hunts for Tsunami
Reed’s attack was designed to keep Femi grounded and vulnerable. With Femi down, Reed climbed for Tsunami, only for Femi to roll away before Reed could land the splash. It was an important escape, but it did not immediately stop Reed’s momentum. Reed continued working over Femi and eventually put him back in position for another attempt.
The second attempt also failed. Femi again rolled out of harm’s way, and Reed crashed hard into the mat. That miss gave Femi the reset he needed after a lengthy stretch on defense. He responded with multiple running uppercuts in the corner, bringing speed and force to an opponent who had spent much of the match trying to slow him down.
Femi followed the corner offense with a spinebuster and earned a near-fall. The sequence was a reminder that Femi did not need to outmaneuver Reed for an extended period to be dangerous. A single opening was enough for him to generate a potential match-ending combination. Reed, however, remained in the fight, and the contest moved toward its most chaotic stage.
The Vision attempts to tilt the match
As Femi pressed his renewed advantage, members of The Vision emerged at ringside. Theory and Maxxine Dupri appeared first, changing the atmosphere around the ring and putting Femi in the position of having to watch more than just Reed. Logan Paul then entered from the other side of the ring carrying a steel chair.
The referee saw Paul with the weapon and ejected him. That decision appeared to remove the immediate threat of a chair shot, but The Vision’s involvement did not end there. Theory handed Reed a pair of brass knuckles, providing Reed with a weapon while attention was divided.
Reed used the brass knuckles to strike Femi. With Femi hurt from the illegal shot, Reed went directly to his most feared weapon. He climbed to the top rope, delivered Tsunami, and covered Femi. Given the interference and the force of the splash, the moment looked like it could be the finish.
Femi kicked out of Tsunami after Reed had struck him with brass knuckles.
That kick-out was the defining moment of the match. Femi had already avoided two Tsunami attempts earlier in the bout, but this time Reed connected after the advantage had been manufactured by The Vision’s interference. Femi’s ability to survive it denied Reed the victory and prevented outside involvement from deciding the outcome.
Reed reacted by trying to press the issue rather than taking time to regroup. He went for a moonsault, looking to follow Tsunami with another huge aerial attack. Femi rolled away, leaving Reed to miss. For a wrestler of Reed’s size, the failed moonsault was a major risk, and it gave Femi the clear opening he had been searching for since the interference began.
Fall From Grace seals the win for Femi
Femi capitalized immediately. After avoiding the moonsault, he hit Reed with Fall From Grace and covered him for the three-count. The victory gave Femi a hard-fought win over one of WWE’s most physically imposing competitors while also overcoming The Vision’s attempted involvement.
The closing stretch highlighted the distinct challenges Femi had to overcome. Reed’s raw offense was difficult enough, particularly after the apron backdrop suplex, the attack into the stairs, and the suicide dive gave him sustained control. But the bout became even more dangerous once Theory, Dupri, and Paul arrived. Paul’s ejection stopped one potential shortcut, yet Theory still found a way to place the brass knuckles in Reed’s hands.
Femi therefore had to overcome more than a clean Tsunami. He had to withstand a version of the move delivered after an illegal weapon shot. That made the kick-out especially significant within the match’s story. It established that even Reed’s best opportunity, aided by The Vision, could not keep Femi down.
Reed’s decision to attempt the moonsault after failing to secure the pinfall proved costly. The move could have ended the match if it connected, but it gave Femi one final chance to evade and counter. Femi did exactly that, then made sure Reed did not get another opportunity to recover by landing Fall From Grace.
A statement victory in a heavyweight collision
Femi’s win was not a straightforward display of domination. Reed had lengthy stretches of control and repeatedly put Femi in danger. He also came within moments of victory after Tsunami. Yet Femi’s resilience ultimately separated him in a match where both competitors absorbed major punishment and looked to finish the other with high-impact offense.
The opening shoulder-to-shoulder confrontation set the tone for the entire match. Both men entered looking to prove superiority through power, and neither was easily moved. By the end, Femi had been thrown onto the apron, driven into the stairs, struck with brass knuckles, and hit by Tsunami. He still found a way to rise, avoid Reed’s final gamble, and finish the match himself.
For Reed, the loss came after an aggressive performance that nearly paid off. He adapted after Femi’s early bursts of power, used the ringside environment to his advantage, and had a clear finishing sequence in place. Still, neither interference nor Tsunami was enough to secure the victory once Femi refused to stay down.
At WWE Money in the Bank 2026, Oba Femi emerged from a bruising battle with Bronson Reed by surviving The Vision’s attempted manipulation, kicking out of Tsunami, and delivering Fall From Grace to earn the pinfall.
