LA Knight doesn't need the briefcase, according to LA Knight.
Fans in London were firmly behind LA Knight winning the men's Money in the Bank briefcase at WWE Money in the Bank, but it was not meant to be as he was thwarted by eventual winner Damian Priest.
The following day at a WWE live event in Cardiff, LA Knight addressed his loss.
"Nobody back there knows this right now, but last was my last match. If I was't coming out with that case, it's all over for me. I wanted to come out and feel this one more in my gear, standing in this ring, before I say goodbye," he teased. "Or at least that's what they'd like me to say! So, let me talk to ya! I stand here right now thinking about what happened last night. That case, hanging up there, in my grasp, about to pull it down. At long last, it comes down in the hands of who? Who? Who cares. It didn't come down in the hands of LA Knight. Here's how it goes. I haven't been given anything since I walked through the door, let's face facts, and here I stand, top of the industry. Here I stand, the man, all over the place, everywhere you go. Everywhere, all around the round, it's the same song, and how's that song go? With everybody saying [crowd cheers LA Knight]. It's for that reason. The reason ain't y'all. The reason is me. You can feel cool saying my name all you want, but I don't need y'all, let's be honest. I didn't need that case either. Just like I made myself a top man in this industry is the same way, with or without a case, I will make myself a champion sooner or later, and there ain't nobody that can stop me. That's not an insult. That's just a fact of life."
Knight would go on to lose to Rey Mysterio at the live event.
