This week on SmackDown LowDown, Knight told WWE correspondent Byron Saxton that he was looking to win the qualifier next week and then head straight to the Money in the Bank match. He even declared that once he got hold of the briefcase, he would be cashing it on Logan Paul.

"Everything that you put in tonight, everything that you put in tonight, just realize the fact that you didn't finish the job. Realize the fact that you should have and the fact that you didn't is your biggest mistake. Because now I beat you next week, I got to Money in the Bank, I get the case and then I'm coming for you. And then the US title, everything that I want, everything that you love, then becomes mine. Why? Because I made it that way." [From 2:21 - 2:45]
