LA Knight had an unsuccessful outing at Money in the Bank
Before Money in the Bank this year, LA Knight was a massive favorite to win the briefcase. The 40-year-old WWE superstar received massive pops on SmackDown before the PLE. This further intensified the speculations and expectations of Knight winning the ladder match. However, things took an unexpected turn.
Despite giving it his best shot, Knight fell short and couldn't secure a victory in the ladder match. Instead, Damian Priest was successful in winning the competition. However, Knight's performance in the ladder match was notable.
Not only did he do well in the ring, but he also indulged in brawls with every superstar involved in the match. During the match, Knight was close to winning the briefcase on two occasions. However, interference from Damian Priest, and later from Butch, derailed his chances at winning the contract.
Knight's defeat at Money in the Bank has left many disappointed. But there is nothing that can be done to change what happened. It will now be interesting to see what WWE does with Knight and his future in the company. A lot about the superstar is expected to be revealed this week on SmackDown.
