Former champ to win the MITB and dethrone Cody Rhodes? Exploring the potential 

Cody Rhodes' Undisputed WWE Champion's reign could be in jeopardy if a former champion wins the Money in the Bank briefcase in July. The superstar in question is LA Knight.

The Megastar faced a heartbreaking loss against Tama Tonga in the King of the Ring tournament on SmackDown last Friday. This came as a huge surprise, given that many expected the veteran to win the whole thing.

Knight is one of the most skilled and experienced stars on the main roster. The former Million Dollar Champion has an ocean of fans behind him who want to see him on top. While it was rumored earlier that the company had a big push in store for Knight, that hasn't happened as of yet.

However, that may change shortly. The Megastar is currently one of the hot favorites to win this year's Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match. The company could award Knight for the commendable work he did in the last year or so by having him win the coveted briefcase.

If that is indeed the case, the odds of LA Knight being the one to dethrone Cody Rhodes can't be ruled out. Given how over The Megastar is, he could successfully cash in the briefcase and usurp Cody Rhodes to win his first title on the main roster in a big way.

Cody Rhodes would love to face LA Knight in a match

During the press conference following Backlash 2024, Cody Rhodes revealed that he would love to collide with LA Knight in a match.

While talking about his next potential challenger, The American Nightmare stated that he would be interested in clashing with The Megastar, LA Knight.

"But there are a lot of folks... I'll tell you one that maybe is a little strange, not that this is gonna sound strange, but I love... man, I could name everybody, but LA Knight is somebody that I look at. Because I get it, 'Oh they're two good guys!'. Well, I understand that, but there's a flavor there, there's something about it, and when you got that fever, you gotta know, you wanna know. There are so many [potential challengers] and there's probably new faces that we don't even know," said Rhodes.

A potential encounter between Cody Rhodes and LA Knight promises to be a blockbuster affair. However, will the company take that route in the near future? Only time will tell.
