The evidence supports one direct explanation—not three independently reported causes—so the other two points below explain the match format and result rather than inventing additional reasons.
1. Kevin Owens won the final qualifier
On the October 2, 2026 episode of SmackDown, Owens defeated Rhodes and Johnny Gargano in the final men’s qualifying match, taking the last spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Sports Illustrated’s recap also reports Owens qualifying at Rhodes’s expense: Sports Illustrated’s October 2 SmackDown recap.

2. Randy Orton’s interference worked against Rhodes
WWE’s official match page says Owens became the final entrant “after Randy Orton interfered to keep The American Nightmare from winning.” That is the clearest stated circumstance explaining why Rhodes did not win. WWE’s account does not identify a separate backstage motive for Orton’s action, so it would be speculation to assign one. WWE’s 2026 Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match page.
3. A triple-threat match left Rhodes with no one-on-one path to the win
The qualifier was contested by three wrestlers, not a singles opponent: Rhodes, Owens, and Gargano. In that format, Rhodes could lose the spot when Owens won, regardless of whether Rhodes had first overcome Gargano. That is a consequence of the match setup, not a separately reported reason or evidence that WWE deliberately disadvantaged Rhodes. WWE described the qualification process as a series of triple-threat matches, with six men qualifying for the ladder match. WWE’s qualifier roundup.
