CLEVELAND, OHIO: Veteran wrestler Konnan believes that WWE may let LA Knight lose the Men's Money in the Bank briefcase and give it to Logan Paul instead. The Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match will take place on July 1, 2023, in London, England. Paul stated on RAW last Monday that he had spoken to WWE management and will be participating in it.
Knight, Santos Escobar, Butch, Ricochet, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Damian Priest will compete against the well-known YouTuber. Many people believe that LA Knight will take home the Money in the Bank bag but Konnan believes that the firm actually wants Paul to win because of the publicity it would bring.
‘Knight won't generate the mainstream buzz’
"I'm thinking, bro, just because of all the time they're giving Paul here [his segment on RAW], I have a feeling, I'm thinking they want Paul to go over because of the buzz it will generate. Because Knight won't generate the mainstream buzz even though he'll be the most over guy in the match," he said on 'Keepin' It 100'.
Since his defeat by Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 39 in April 2022, Paul has been missing from the Stamford-based organization. The Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match will now feature him, he revealed on 'Monday Night RAW', two days earlier after consulting with management.
Logan Paul gets push from WWE
Paul has participated in a number of noteworthy matches throughout his brief tenure with the organization. He is also a tremendous star outside of professional wrestling. He is without a doubt the fight's biggest name given his enormous fan base. Therefore, WWE ought to try to elevate him above the competition. Paul doesn't have much professional wrestling background.
During his stay with WWE, he competed in five matches, three of which were significant singles battles. The 2023 Men's Royal Rumble Match was one competition, and the other was a tag team match. Despite just competing in five matches, Paul was clearly built for the WWE. In the ring and on the mike, The Maverick is a complete pro. Despite assistance from some of the top wrestlers in the world, he has consistently delivered when he has faced off inside the squared circle.
Paul takes his art seriously, thus, he ought to prevail at Money in the Bank 2023. A triumph for him would be a crazy idea if he were a regular celebrity with little to no aptitude for the business. Instead, he is incredibly brilliant and deserving of a prominent position.
