Roman Reigns walked into the Mohammad Abdu Arena as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. While many thought that his reign with his title belt would end at Crown Jewel, things did not pan out that way. After failing multiple times to pin the Tribal Chief, LA Knight succumbed to a heartbreaking loss. What does this defeat mean for the star who was getting a massive push from the promotion?

What’s next for LA Knight?

Knight happened to be one of the hottest commodities at WWE but there were still some doubts on his ceiling. While some believe he is on his path to greatness, others thought that might have reached the peak of his popularity. There have been talks in the creative as well that the sky might not be the limit for LA Knight. Following his loss at the current PLE, he has to connect on a deeper level with the crowd to keep his momentum going.

John Cena, who was majorly backing up the rising star, has also faced his defeat at Crown Jewel and might be leaving the promotion soon. As for now, there are no reports about The Defiant One’s involvement at Royal Rumble.

Whether the 41-year-old star has a major win at the next year’s opening PLE is still unknown. Apart from that, there are still doubts about whether he will be headlining WrestleMania 40 against Roman Reigns.

What happened at the Crown Jewel was something fans had anticipated. Bloodline interrupts to help their Tribal Chief and eventually LA Knight loses. But why did his loss come as such a shocker?

Why was LA Knight’s loss shocking?

In May 2022, LA Knight moved up the ladder at WWE and transitioned to SamckDown from NXT. He was called in as Max Dupri and was the manager of Maximum Male Models. However, this stint did not go long and the character was scratched in September of the same year. Following this, a new star LA Knight entered the scene. A star who has taken inspiration from the glorious Attitude Era went rampant at SmackDown. He quickly rose to fame for his mic skills and somehow ignited the ‘YEAH’ Movement.

Along with looking fearlessly in the eyes of The Tribal Chief, LA Knight showcased everything a larger-than-life star should have. Somehow riding on this, WWE might have decided to give the 41-year-old star a massive push. But maybe, the promotion felt like this would be too quick for Knight to become a champion and decided to slow him down with this defeat. Now fans have to wait till this week’s SmackDown to see the next chapter of LA Knight’s story. What do you think is in store for the rising star?
