Bill Apter wants to see WWE SmackDown star win Money in the Bank this year
Legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter recently claimed that he would like to see Cody Rhodes win the Men's Money in the Bank ladder match this year.
The American Nightmare has not been seen since losing the Undisputed WWE Championship to John Cena in the main event of WrestleMania 41. During an exclusive Q&A on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, Apter stated that he would like to see Cody Rhodes capture the Money in the Bank contract at the PLE next month.
"I think the best person to get that Money in the Bank would be Cody Rhodes. This could be his road back to 'a' title. Remember, he can pick from any title. So, this would be interesting to see who Cody wants to get the belt from. Does he want John Cena again? Does he want Jey Uso? Does he want the US Title? Does he want to get the Intercontinental Title? I think he would be the guy to get that buzz going with the Money in the Bank," Apter said. (From 24:00 - 24:35)
