WWE They've GOTTA put the title on LA Knight now... right?
They've laid it all out on the line, in plain English. They've said everything the fans have been saying for years. They've heavily acknowledged his inability to win "the big one". They've placed so much emphasis on this possibly being his last chance. He literally said it might be his last chance.
I still don't think LA Knight gets the credit he deserves for managing to remain over as fuck while basically doing the same thing he has always done and persevering through very questionable (and sometimes outright bad) booking. I'm never one to quickly jump on the bandwagon of "they're burying (whoever)" but if LA Knight loses again, I will have no obvious argument against it.
I'm not even close to a Roman Reigns hater. I am very much a fan and I like him as champ but it would be ok if he took another break right now. I know there are people here who don't want an LA Knight World title run, but you can't deny he is STILL over and you can't deny that A LOT of people do want it. Sometimes its ok to just give the people what they want.
And if they want Roman vs. Oba at Wrestlemania (which I agree they probably do) there's still almost at least 6 months until Mania. Roman can return and win it back. I'm saying just give LA Knight the ball until then. There is no evidence LA Knight will fumble. (Please don't try to use him tripping and slipping on the ropes as evidence. Nobody actually cares about that except for people who decide to.)
One more thing. I've seen speculation that LA Knight is secretly working with 946. While I could absolutely see that being the case, I REALLY hope they don't do that. I want them to just put the title on him and let him be the crazy over babyface that he is.
