Roman Reigns just successfully defended his World Heavyweight Championship against Penta in Mexico City, but before he could even catch his breath, LA Knight unleashed pure wrath. The champ thought he had a moment of peace, but Knight quickly reminded everyone that the title defense was just a brief detour, and their unfinished business is front and center!
The Champ’s Got a Target on His Back, Seriously
This isn’t some fresh rivalry, folks. Knight’s beef with The Bloodline has been boiling for months, and now he’s finally getting another shot at Reigns at Money in the Bank. New Orleans is the city, and Knight is absolutely gunning for his first WWE world title. Forget about the briefcase for him this year, because he’s challenging for Monday Night Raw’s top prize! You saw how he went right after Reigns after that grueling match with Penta; that was a statement, loud and clear. This ain’t gonna be pretty, but it sure will be epic.
Ladder Match Chaos Is About to Erupt
But hold up, there’s more than just a title on the line! The titular Money in the Bank Ladder Matches are stacked and ready to blow the roof off. Five superstars have already punched their ticket in both the men’s and women’s matches, and the final spots are still up for grabs.
On the men’s side, we’ve got a killer lineup already with Bron Breakker, Je’Von Evans, Penta (who stepped in for Solo Sikoa), Trick Williams, and the two-time briefcase holder CM Punk! Seriously, Punk is in! Breakker beat Rey Mysterio and Ethan Page to get in, Evans overcame Big Cass and Austin Theory, Penta took down Dominik Mysterio and Dragon Lee, and Williams pulled off an upset against Randy Orton and Rey Fenix. The final spot is a three-way battle royale between Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, or Johnny Gargano. Any one of those guys would be a massive addition to an already insane match.
And don’t sleep on the women’s ladder match! Sol Ruca and Lola Vice were the first two in, with Ruca taking out Lyra Valkyria and Maxxine Dupri, and Vice edging out NXT women’s champion Kelani Jordan and WWE women’s intercontinental champion Raquel Rodriguez. Roxanne Perez beat Iyo Sky and La Catalina, and Jacy Jayne and Lash Legend snagged the next two spots. The last spot? It’s down to Candice LeRae, Tatum Paxley, or Tiffany Stratton. Talk about high stakes across the board!
This whole event streams live on ESPN Unlimited on October 10, with the main card kicking off at 6 p.m. ET. You gotta tune in! Can Knight finally dethrone Reigns? Who’s gonna grab those all-important Money in the Bank contracts? This is going to be HUGE.
