Will LA Knight compete in a match at WrestleMania 39?

Ever since that horrific Pitch Black match at the Royal Rumble, LA Knight’s presence has dipped drastically. Although he’s been making it on television in some backstage interviews on SmackDown, that’s not enough. For a man of such caliber, he should be there each week spitting fire through his microphone in the ring. Now, as we speak about his flawless oratory attributes, a certain name pops up in mind who can match his pace.

He’s none other than Pat McAfee. And for what it’s worth, he should stand across LA Knight at this year’s Showcase of the Immortals. One way or the other, these men have to carve their road to WrestleMania. So, why not put them together in a singles feud? This idea has been making the rounds on Twitter for quite a while now. As known, McAfee made his WWE return to kick-off Royal Rumble. However, he’s been missing once again.

It’s unknown at this point as to why WWE is holding back the former Indianapolis Colts punter. But, worth mentioning, according to some trusted sources, the company really hopes to have him in a spot of limelight in Los Angeles. It will be a great idea to indulge Knight & McAfee in the mix. Neither of them holds back while trash-talking about their opponents. Hence, if used correctly, they can even steal the show at the 2 night pop-culture extravaganza in SoFi stadium.

By this Friday, things will be clear about WWE’s plan for both of these charismatic specimens. Also, it’s almost confirm that The Defiant One is heading to LA for The Show of Shows. That being said, last night during Raw, LA Knight got featured in the promotional graphics while the production truck flashed Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes.

What was LA Knight’s first main-roster feud?

Needless to say, barring whatever went down at The Alamodome on January 28th, WWE really raised the stock of LA Knight. He showed the guts to stand toe-to-toe with someone like Bray Wyatt in only his first feud on the main-roster. Most importantly, the former Million Dollar Champion never looked out of the place. He even outshined Wyatt on occasions and was the ultimate winner coming out of that spooky montage.

But now, that darkness has gone past the 40-year-old. He now needs to look what’s there in the future. As mentioned earlier, Pat McAfee being his next opponent makes all the sense in this world. It remains to be seen whether Triple H too thinks likewise. The thing is, fans have recognized the massive reservoir of potential hidden inside LA Knight. The creative needs to come up something really intriguing for The Namer of Dummies.
