I absolutely loved Money In The Bank, and it seems I’m not alone. Reviews for WWE’s latest premium live event on Twitter were really strong with fans in particular praising the crowd, The Bloodline Civil War, the surprise John Cena segment and the women’s Money In The Bank match. Reaction to the men’s version was a little more mixed, particularly about the ending. Some fans are absolutely furious that rising star LA Knight didn’t grab the briefcase, while others feel Triple H, Vince McMahon and everyone else involved in creative made the right call with Damian Priest. I’ve got some strong feelings myself too; so, let’s talk this out.
No one on WWE’s roster has ascended further faster than LA Knight. In less than a year, the self-proclaimed megastar has gone from being a gimmick manager to the people’s obvious favorite to win Money In The Bank. His promos are being compared to an Attitude Era version of Dwayne Johnson, and his cocky and prickly demeanor is reminding some fans of Stone Cold Steve Austin. I’m not saying he’s the most popular person on the entire roster, but he’s certainly the hottest and the buzziest.
