"Can imagine Vince having him beat Reigns" - Fans reject the idea of controversial WWE Superstar potentially winning Money in the Bank

 WWE Money in the Bank is scheduled to take place at the O2 Arena in London, England, on July 1, 2023. For the last three years, Roman Reigns has managed to stay out of Mr. Money in the Bank's crosshairs. This year, there is no other option but to cash-in on The Tribal Chief should the contract be exclusive to the World Championships.

Last year's winner, Austin Theory, targeting the United States Champion, may have diminished the aura of the briefcase a tad, having previously managed to achieve a status similar to the annual Royal Rumble match. Triple H and the WWE creative team may be looking to restore the prestige of the MITB contract.

Logan Paul was recently pitched by a WWE panelist as the right guy to receive the honor of winning the annual ladder match. However, fans want none of that. Most of them are against The Maverick becoming Mr. Money in the Bank.

@wrestlelamia That would be dumb, a champion who doesn’t fight weekly, and a MITB holder never there

Meanwhile, a large section of fans are rooting for SmackDown star LA Knight to walk out of the O2 Arena with the MITB briefcase:

@wrestlelamia I can get behind this, but I really want this to be LA Knight's time! Get the belts split at the Draft, keep the Rhodes-Reigns thing going. But we know whoever wins this, there's a high chance its a wasted cash in! Because Reigns is going for a while longer!

As of this writing, the company has a plethora of options, but LA Knight and Logan Paul seem to be the frontrunners on the rumor mill, with the SmackDown star being the crowd favorite.

Bill Apter names SmackDown star as next top challenger for Roman Reigns' Undisputed WWE Universal Championship

The Tribal Chief has been on top of the mountain since late 2020 and is still going strong. While The Miz cashed in on Drew McIntyre during the pandemic, Big E cashed in the following year on Bobby Lashley. With Reigns currently a double champion, who could be the one to finally dethrone him?

Veteran journalist Bill Apter recently spoke to Sportskeeda Wrestling's The Wrestling Time Machine hosted by Mac Davis. Apter believes Gunther, who has an ongoing streak of his own as the WWE Intercontinental Champion, is the next "top contender" for The Tribal Chief's titles:

"They haven't talked a lot about this, but I think in terms of a top contender for the Undisputed Universal Championship, I would pay to see Roman Reigns or Brock Lesnar against Gunther," said Bill Apter. [H/T:  Wwe Wrestling]

@wrestlelamia Gunther getting MITB is the answer.
