He wasn\u2019t there last Monday night; he hasn\u2019t been utilized in any of this stuff. I think that, for whatever reason, whether he\u2019s just done dealing with Triple H and getting yelled at, or he makes too much money and they came to him and said, \u2018We want you to take a pay cut.\u2019 Because the word on the street is, it was a lot of talent, not just the New Day,&#8221; he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Coachman mentioned that Knight is someone who would command a good value on the independents and might realize he needs to make the switch sooner or later. He also compared his situation to The New Day, saying that he cannot wrestle every week.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;And I think that\u2019s what the New Day did; they said, \u2018We\u2019re sitting around.\u2019 Yes, you want to earn a lot of money, and that\u2019s important, but sometimes the talent that\u2019s been there, done that, they\u2019re like, \u2018I can\u2019t give away another year or two, I\u2019m getting older, and I can\u2019t wrestle every week. I need to do this now.\u2019 LA Knight is 43; he can\u2019t wrestle every single week when you\u2019re 43,&#8221; he added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\/embed\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\">                    <noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WWE Backlash Reaction + Where does WWE Go From Here? | The Coach and Bro | May 11\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ht9SFS6pFaw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>                    <\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube\" data-embed=\"ht9SFS6pFaw\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><img height=\"370\" width=\"660\" data-img=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/ht9SFS6pFaw\/sddefault.jpg\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/ht9SFS6pFaw\/sddefault.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>WWE reportedly scrapped plans for LA Knight<\/h2>\n<p>At WrestleMania 42, LA Knight teamed up with The Usos to beat The Vision and iShowSpeed in a six-man tag team match.
