LA Knight Breaks Silence On Not Winning The Money In The Bank Ladder Match

Anticipation was at an all time high heading into the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match this year as it seemed that there were many fans hoping to see LA Knight win the briefcase. The London fans made it clear that they were firmly behind Knight during the match, but ultimately it was Damian Priest who won the contract.

LA Knight addressed the loss during the WWE live event in Cardiff the next day, and he tole the fans that he will become a champion with or without the Money in the Bank contract.

“Nobody back there knows this right now, but last was my last match. If I was’t coming out with that case, it’s all over for me. I wanted to come out and feel this one more in my gear, standing in this ring, before I say goodbye. Or at least that’s what they’d like me to say! So, let me talk to ya! I stand here right now thinking about what happened last night. That case, hanging up there, in my grasp, about to pull it down. At long last, it comes down in the hands of who? Who? Who cares. It didn’t come down in the hands of LA Knight.

Here’s how it goes. I haven’t been given anything since I walked through the door, let’s face facts, and here I stand, top of the industry. Here I stand, the man, all over the place, everywhere you go. Everywhere, all around the round, it’s the same song, and how’s that song go? With everybody saying [crowd cheers LA Knight]. It’s for that reason. The reason ain’t y’all. The reason is me. You can feel cool saying my name all you want, but I don’t need y’all, let’s be honest. I didn’t need that case either. Just like I made myself a top man in this industry is the same way, with or without a case, I will make myself a champion sooner or later, and there ain’t nobody that can stop me. That’s not an insult. That’s just a fact of life.”
