La Knight secured a straightforward win against Seth Rollins, who unfortunately sustained an injury after an awkward landing during a Moonsault. The match concluded quickly when Knight delivered a decisive BFT to Rollins. While we hope Rollins’ injury isn’t severe, his current status remains uncertain, which could inadvertently lead to a much-needed push for Knight.
Post-victory, Knight refrained from claiming he would "end Rollins" due to his babyface persona. Similar to Liv Morgan’s injury scenario, he aims to uplift those around him, making the best out of a tough situation. WWE has seemingly held back on Knight lately, but fan enthusiasm for him has grown loud on social media and in arenas. It’s likely that the company will respond to their demands, particularly as Knight seems poised for a significant push.
This victory against Rollins could be a pivotal moment for Knight as he considers a move to "WWE Raw." There, he would have ample new feud prospects, including commercial rivals like Rusev and Sheamus, as well as heavyweight champion Gunther. WWE has since announced Knight will compete in a "Raw" four-way match to determine Gunther’s challenger at SummerSlam. Though Knight is an underdog, the circumstances could work in his favor.
He could also remain engaged in a solid storyline rivalry with Bron Breakker. Rollins’ injury eliminated interference from his stablemates during the recent match, creating a perfect setup for Knight and Breakker to shine. Even if Rollins faces a lengthy recovery, opening the money-in-the-bank contract could create further intrigue involving Knight, Breakker, and the various briefcases at play.
Fan Take: This news is crucial for wrestling fans as it signals a potential turning point for La Knight, who has been gaining momentum. His rise could redefine the landscape of WWE, particularly if it leads to significant rivalries and storylines on "Raw."
