WWE has a lot of plans in the works, and they know what kind of star they have with LA Knight. The former Eli Drake is on his way to the main event scene, and he could have a huge match ahead of him against the Head of the Table.
LA Knight had to miss last week’s episode of SmackDown due to testing positive for COVID-19. WWE knew that fans would be bummed, and they even offered refunds to anyone who wanted their money back.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted that it appears that LA Knight is being groomed to face Roman Reigns. He may even get that shot in Saudi Arabia.
“LA Knight is believed to be returning on Smackdown on 9/29 and one would expect they go to the original plan. Knight, who is very hot right know when it comes to all facets of business and reactions, appears to be groomed for a Roman Reigns title shot in the not too distant future. Reigns has no obvious contender at this point and will be defending on the 11/4 show in Saudi Arabia.”
WWE has a lot of options when it comes to LA Knight, but they need to make the right decisions to make sure that he is a top Superstar. His contract situation could also play into things as time goes on.
In the meantime, WWE fans may want to expect even more from LA Knight. He is certainly getting great crowd reactions, and WWE realizes that they have a red-hot talent on their hands right now. That may even get him some time in the main event with the Tribal Chief.
