LA Knight Addresses Not Winning The WWE Money In The Bank Ladder Match

Speaking at a WWE live event in Cardiff the night after Money in the Bank, LA Knight addressed not winning the men's Money in the Bank briefcase. The SmackDown Superstar cut a promo, saying:

"Nobody back there knows this right now, but last night was my last match. If I wasn't coming out with that case, it's all over for me. I wanted to come out and feel this one more time 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! 

Knight then addressed his own popularity (not without justification, as he certainly appeared to be the fan favourite to win the briefcase on Saturday night) before vowing to become a champion even without the briefcase.

"Here I stand, the man, all over the place, everywhere you go. [...] 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."

The match was actually won by Damian Priest, who later appeared during Seth Rollins' World Heavyweight Championship defence against Finn Balor - but didn't cash in.
