Triple H was heavily criticized by the WWE Universe when LA Knight lost the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder match in London at the premium live event. According to a new report, Knight may not become the next United States Champion as they currently have plans for Santos Escobar to win the title.
Last year, Santos Escobar made his main roster debut when he joined Friday Night SmackDown alongside Legado Del Fantasma and Zelina Vega. Meanwhile, Max Durpi returned to his LA Knight name on the blue brand, leaving the Maximum Male Models and later feuding with Bray Wyatt.
According to a new report from BWE, Triple H has plans to make Santos Escobar a babyface Latino champion by beating Austin Theory for the United States Championship. Fans did not take the report lightly as they firmly want LA Knight as the next United States Champion.
