LA Knight is one of the quickly rising stars in WWE today. Despite the positive feedback to The Megastar, he failed to become Mr. Money in the Bank 2023. However, there could be multiple reasons why this happened.
Despite being one of the heavy favorites heading into WWE Money in the Bank 2023, LA Knight could not win the contract. The winner ended up being The Judgment Day member, Damian Priest. However, this could be one of the reasons why the former lost. Damian winning the case could further elevate his storyline with Finn Balor and Seth Rollins, possibly leading to a SummerSlam match.
Another reason the SmackDown star did not win MITB 2023 could be that WWE prefers long-term planning to crowd reactions. Knight winning could also be viewed as predictable to many due to his growing popularity.
