WWE seemingly has major plans in store for LA Knight after WrestleMania 39. LA Knight has substantiated that he is one of the most talented athletes, in the ring and on the mic. Knight’s charisma as a talent was accentuated during his rivalry with Bray Wyatt. A new report states that LA Knight may potentially become the next Money In The Bank winner later this year.
This year, The Money in the Bank PLE will emanate from The O2 arena in London. The event will take place in July. Last year, Austin Theory won the contract but failed to successfully cash it in. However, the new report predicts that the winner this year will successfully cash in the contract to claim the top Championship title.
