This weekend, WWE Money in the Bank will take over London’s O2 Arena, and there may be plenty of surprises in store. There are a number of stars who could make their comebacks, debuts, or even take on new roles as part of the show, with LA Knight currently receiving the most attention. Knight is now considered to be the favorite to win the men’s MITB match once more, but Logan Paul may seize the opportunity, which might result in a long overdue face turn. 

Knight believes the match is already his, but if Paul adopts unfair strategies to win, such as bringing in KSI or even his brother, which would be permitted by the contest’s regulations, it might force a face turn.

Can he win ?

LA Knight, who has established himself as one of WWE’s most well-liked talents over the past several months, may be persuaded to change face for the first time since joining the main roster. Knight was first given a push on SmackDown after switching back to his former persona after being promoted as Max Dupri, the manager of Maximum Male Models. 

If Logan wins the Money in the Bank ladder match this year, there might be a plotline resembling that of Cody Rhodes and Damian Sandow in which he pursues the case in an effort to persuade Paul to put his reputation on the line.

‘oh no, he’s 40, danger’ 

La Knight alleges that WWE was pushed aback by his advanced age. LA described the incident as follows. “I’m killing it in NXT. It’s crazy, like, just the reactions, the way I had turned from big time heel in the summertime to big time babyface by the winter. It’s not piped in and it’s not prefabbed reactions. It was organic, real stuff happening. I come up for a dark match, I get the attention of the right people; ‘hey, who is this guy?’ but then the age thing comes up – [whispers] ‘oh no, he’s 40, danger’. But I’m not the average 40-year-old. I haven’t gone through the ringer. I haven’t had a bunch of surgeries or injuries, knock on that wood. I’ve lived a good, youthful life in a certain sense and I’ve taken care of myself in a way I would say most don’t.” Said Knight.

If he loses, it would be sufficient for him to turn the tables and have the support of the WWE Universe going into SummerSlam.
