LA Knight is rumored to win the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match
For those unaware, a recent report suggested that LA Knight is the leading candidate to win this year's Money in the Bank Ladder Match in London, England. The veteran has made a name for himself in WWE courtesy of his character work and promo skills. His recent run has earned him huge praise from fans and critics alike.

-LA Knight is still, and has been the favourite for the Money In The Bank briefcase for a while. Things can change but as of today, he is the most spoken backstage in regards winning MITB.
-The women, i'm told is up in the air as of right now
In a recent exclusive chat with Sportskeeda, wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell shared his thoughts on Knight.
"I think he’s a very valuable performer to them, and they wanna take their time with him. I’d rather [suggest] they take their time instead of trying to rush him. I think that helps him in the long run, and that helps WWE (…) He kind of puts off a little bit of Stone Cold vibes to me.“He goes, ‘Hey, let me talk to you,’ and people like that. I think he can go out there, and as the old saying goes, he can talk them into the building.“You give him something hot, and I think he’s gonna take off and run.” [32:37 - 33:17]
Knight has struggled to find his footing on the main roster following his feud with Bray Wyatt. Nonetheless, if there is any truth behind the recent reports, fans can expect a significant push for the 40-year-old shortly.
