Not even being the most over man in the building could ensure LA Knight walked out of the O2 Arena as Mr. Money in the Back.

Make no mistake, Damian Priest was a refreshing call in the end, with the Judgment Day figure holding the case for the months that followed leading to cracks in the black and purple squad and successfully helping the big lad take that next step up the card.

But seeing the "YEAH!" man blow the roof off the place before strutting around the blue show with his briefcase and regularly threatening to bring Roman's reign to an end, or even hopping over to Monday nights to drown out Seth Rollins' song with everybody saying "L-A Knight!", would have no doubt been just as exhilarating.

Admittedly, the super popular 'Megastar' has still found a way to remain relevant despite coming up short in London, and even earned himself an Undisputed WWE Universal Championship shot.

However, his pretty uninspiring summer, outside of his Slim Jim win, would have been a whole lot more engaging had Knight unhooked the briefcase instead of a Priest who was already on the rise without it.
