Money in the Bank is a prestige event that acts as an opening for wrestlers wanting to win gold and make it big in the WWE. The best example is The Rated R Superstar Edge. He won the inaugural MITB ladder match at WrestleMania 21 and the rest, as they say, is history. On 2nd July, at the O2 Arena in London, 6 men and 6 women will face off to determine who will win this opportunity of a lifetime.
The list for the men’s MITB ladder match includes LA Knight, Shinsuke Nakamura, Ricochet, Butch, Santos Escobar, and Damian Priest. All these superstars with varied skills will fight till their last breath to get a hold of the suitcase suspended 20 feet above the ring. But fans already seem to have chosen their winner.
LA Knight is a good bet for the future

It’s just been a little over a year since his re-entry to the WWE from NXT, but fans already see great promise in him. Knight is blessed with the gift of gab and his charisma is just unmatched. Fans have even drawn comparisons between him and WWE biggies like Dwayne Johnson and Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Not just fans, but even fellow wrestlers share the same opinion. On his recent appearance on ‘The Bump’, Knight and Zelina Vega had a minor discord as a result of his brash talk. Then later on twitter Zelina Vega launched into Knight calling him “Rock and Stone Cold Lite”.
But for now, LA Knight is purely focused on this career altering opportunity. And he is an absolute fan favorite across the WWE universe, as seen in the recent twitter poll.

LA Knight all day. Damien Priest is my backup.

WWE hasn't been very subtle lately. They have me believing it's going to be LA Knight, so I'm gonna go ahead and believe them.
It's the correct decision, so I'm not mad about it.

LA Knight would really put some value to the briefcase. A fun heel is always the best choice.

While Knight is the fan’s clear-cut preference for the event, The Judgment Day’s Damian Priest is at close second position. So if there is one opponent who might give Knight a run for his Money in the Bank, that individual would be Priest. It’s going to be an exciting match with a nail biting finish. Who are you guys rooting for to win the MITB ladder match?
