Former WWE star Lana and current WWE star LA Knight were spotted together having a drink at this week’s SmackDown in Puerto Rico.
Meanwhile, LA Knight has reportedly been discussed as a “leading candidate” to win the men’s Money in the Bank match this year. WRKD Wrestling, who has developed an excellent track record of accuracy, tweeted:
LA Knight has been discussed internally as a leading candidate to win this year’s Money In The Bank match. #SmackDown
This tweet came right after LA Knight was beaten on tonight’s April 14 episode of SmackDown by Xavier Woods, the second time Knight has lost to Woods recently. In fact, Knight’s record this year is 2-7, yet he’s still managed to grow into one of the most popular names in the company among fans, all while still being presented as a heel too.
Money in the Bank this year takes place at the O2 Arena in London, England on July 1.
Knight made his main roster debut back in 2022 under the gimmick of Max Dupri, the pioneer behind Maximum Male Models. However, his pairing with the likes of ma.çé and mån.sôör didn’t work out, and soon after, he reverted to his original character. Since then, the 40-year-old star has been getting great reactions from fans.
LA Knight was involved in a dark match this week before the SmackDown tapings. He faced Butch in a singles encounter. He won the bout after a bit of back and forth with the Brawling Brutes member. Some videos surfaced on social media showing the fans in attendance loudly cheering for Knight.
