While fans have been wanting to see WWE give LA Knight the push they think he deserves, he has yet to receive it.
Some thought it would happen if WWE booked him to win the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder match earlier this month, but that win went to Damian Priest.
As previously reported, WWE still has him slotted as a heel on the SmackDown roster despite knowing he gets cheered by fans.
LA Knight vs. Sheamus vs. Cameron Grimes vs. Rey Mysterio has been booked for tonight’s SmackDown, where the winner will face Santos Escobar on the July 28th SmackDown.
The winner of that singles match will then receive a future title bout with United States Champion Austin Theory, seemingly at SummerSlam, although it could be moved to a SmackDown episode instead.
Insider account Boozer (#BWE), which has broken past WWE stories, reported that Knight’s new push will be starting after the August 5th SummerSlam PLE.
