LA Knight is one of the top stars in WWE right now, and he finally became a champion recently. That’s why it’s not really a big surprise that he is willing to offer John Cena a shot at his United States Championship.
LA Knight won the WWE United States Title at SummerSlam after defeating Logan Paul, in the moment that definitely made fans happy. It was then revealed that Knight signed a multi-year deal with WWE as well.
At the 2024 WWE Money in the Bank event in Toronto, John Cena announced his retirement from professional wrestling and he will begin his retirement tour from January 2025 all the way till December 2025.
During one of John Cena’s recent WWE runs, he teamed with LA Knight against Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa at WWE Fastlane 2023. Now that Knight holds the WWE United States Championship, he has expressed openness to facing Cena for the title, despite Cena’s multiple reigns with it in the past.
In a live signing at Fanatics Fest NYC, LA Knight was enthusiastic about the possibility of facing Cena. He acknowledged Cena’s significant impact on the history of the United States Championship and indicated he would be willing to accept such a challenge. Knight noted their past as tag partners and suggested that Cena might be interested in pursuing the title again, considering his legacy and status in wrestling.
“Former tag partners. You never know. He might want to come back and get this United States Championship one more time—a guy who has been a staple for this championship. I would field that challenge, for sure. With him being my tag partner, I might just know him a little bit. You talk about the greatest of all time and what some might call the future.”
Even the likes of Cody Rhodes wants a piece of John Cena as well. Nonetheless, it remains to be seen whether Cena and The Megastar will clash next year, as fans would love to see that happen.
