LA Knight’s Loss to Roman Reigns Seen as a Positive Development

LA Knight faced the biggest challenge of his career as he faced Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel, where he was unable to dethrone The Head of The Table. That said, Eric Bischoff believes Knight’s loss will benefit him in the future.

Ringside News provided full coverage of WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, as it featured good few matches and memorable moments throughout the night. This included the main event which saw Roman Reigns defend his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against LA Knight.

The match was a classic babyface vs heel bout, as the crowd was fully behind Knight. Unfortunately, Knight failed to win the match despite his best efforts – much to the dismay of fans.

While speaking on the latest edition of his 83 weeks podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff talked about LA Knight’s heartbreaking loss to Roman Reigns. Bischoff stated that he believes Knight’s loss will benefit him in the future.

”I don’t think the loss to Roman is going to make one bit of difference. I don’t think it’s going to stall his momentum. If anything, it’s going to make his fanbase want it even more, and that’s what you hope for. You want the fans to want it more than LA Knight wants it. You want the fans to want it more than the company wants it. You want the fans to become undeniable in their desire to see LA Knight advance. I don’t think it’s going to be very difficult at all for LA Knight to pick up right where he left off, I really don’t. If anything, in a weird way, I think it’s going to help him.”

WWE also believes LA Knight has capped his popularity in the company and needs to develop a deeper connection with fans. Regardless, it remains to be seen what will become of LA Knight in the end.
