LA Knight has qualified for the Men’s Money in the Bank match.
On the June 28 episode of WWE SmackDown, LA Knight faced WWE United States Champion Logan Paul and Santos Escobar in a Money in the Bank qualifying match. On his way to the ring, Paul revealed that he brought someone who knew how to win in Madison Square Garden to be in his corner, and it was revealed to be Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton, who stared down Newe York Knicks star Jalen Brunson in the front row.
Knight and Escobar then ganged up on Knight early in the bout. Paul turned on Escobar and dumped him out of the ring. Knight rallied and took the fight to Paul. Paul then slammed Knight and took control. He dove onto Knight at ringside, but Escobar answered with a dive of his own. Knight then rallied, but Escobar hit him with a hurricanrana. Knight fired up again and slammed Paul.
Escobar hit the Phantom Driver, but Paul broke up the pin. Paul got a near-fall with a Swanton Bomb. In the end, Haliburton was about to give Logan Paul his brass knuckles, but Bruson stopped him. Paul tried to steal the win by pinning Knight, but Knight reversed it and clinched the win.
With the win, Knight joined Jey Uso, Carmelo Hayes, Andrade, and Chad Gable in the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
