Knight is scheduled to take part in the men’s ladder match at Money In The Bank alongside Butch, Damian Priest, Santos Escobar, Shinsuke Nakamura, Ricochet, and Logan Paul on June 1 at the O2 Arena in London. The 40-year-old sounded confident about becoming Mr. MITB after the event.

He also let out a warning to current titleholders on the main roster. Knight said that once he has the briefcase, he’ll challenge any of the champions and is confident about stripping them of their titles.

Meanwhile, Cena shared an image of the SmackDown star on his Instagram profile and in his customary style, didn’t put any captions.

While it didn’t clearly mention his support for the wrestler, the 16-time world champion’s activity just a few days before the PLE won fans over.

Fans hail John Cena’s wrestling acumen

There’s no doubt that John Cena loves the wrestling business. At one point in time, he was the WWE’s workhorse for several years. Cena, like Vince McMahon, knows what’s best for business and strives toward it. While it could ruffle a few feathers along the way, like in the case of his feud with Dwayne Johnson, he rarely misread the fans’ pulse.

His latest selection proved yet again why John Cena still remains a fan favorite even though he seldom wrestles now. This fan’s 3-word tweet sums up Cena’s knowledge about pro wrestling. 

There was a time when John Cena thought humiliating The Rock was best for business. That admittedly wasn’t one of the best decisions of his life. Apart from that, the 46-year-old has mostly got it right with his gut feeling.

While that percentage is debatable, there’s no doubt that John Cena knows his wrestling. He has featured in over 2,200 matches in his WWE career.

And yet, there was a time when Cena would be booed by the crowd. He has been able to win them over gradually and now the WWE Universe gets excited every time John Cena’s name is announced for an event. They love him and it keeps on growing every day.

Surely LA Knight can do with this validation from a past champion.

So, what’s your take on John Cena’s pick? Who do you think will win the Money In The Bank ladder match? Let us know in the comments.
