Multiple reports suggest that LA Knight is on his way to Germany this week, where WWE RAW is being held. The Megastar has not been seen on television since being brutally taken out by Bronson Reed and LA Knight.
Reed crushed the former United States Champion with a Tsunami on top of a car to send him away. However, his return could happen as soon as this week’s edition of the red branded show.
Thanks for the submission!
If Knight indeed makes his return to programming this week, here are four things that he could do right away.
4. He could announce himself for the Royal Rumble Match
The Royal Rumble Premium Live Event is set to take place in less than three weeks. However, no superstars have officially announced themselves for the 30-man battle royale just yet. LA Knight could be the first to do so, right after his return to television.
The WWE Universe has wanted to see him have a world title push for years, and perhaps the best way to do so would be to have him win the Rumble. After Jey Uso last year, WWE could have Knight win the Rumble and have him headline WrestleMania.
3. Knight could cost The Vision their tag team match
Bronson Reed is set to team up with The Vision’s newest member, Austin Theory, to face Penta and Dragon Lee. It is safe to say that Bron Breakker and Logan Paul will interfere in the match to help the heel side get the advantage.
The babyfaces could be left short staffed if CM Punk doesn’t appear for backup alongside Rey Mysterio. If so, LA Knight could make his return to a huge pop and help the luchadores earn the win over The Vision.
2. LA Knight could start a feud with Gunther
Gunther is set to battle AJ Styles in a singles match tonight in Dusseldorf. The Ring General has generated a ton of heat since defeating John Cena in the legend’s retirement match at Saturday Night’s Main Event XLII.
He is the favorite in the match tonight, and could continue to attack Styles afterward. If so, Knight could come out to make the save and immediately start a feud with a formidable opponent. This could take him on the Road to WrestleMania with Gunther as one of his main rivals.
1. Challenge CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship
The Straight Edge Superstar defeated Bron Breakker on RAW last week to retain his world title last week. Punk is set to appear on the Monday Night Show in Dusseldorf to address the fans, and it is unclear who will challenge him next.
Instead of competing in the Royal Rumble, perhaps Knight could interrupt Punk and announce his desire to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship as soon as possible.
This could lead to a match between the two at the Saudi Arabia premium live event. However, this scenario remains speculation and it remains to be seen how Knight is booked upon his comeback.
