LA Knight Officially Makes Major WWE Move
LA Knight is on the hunt for gold in WWE and now a major move has been made official.
At SummerSlam, CM Punk captured the World Heavyweight Championship from Gunther, but his joy was short-lived. Seth Rollins soon appeared on crutches, but the injury that he seemingly suffered at Saturday Night’s Main Event was revealed to have been a complete ruse.
Rollins then cashed in his Money In The Bank contract to capture the World Heavyweight Championship from CM Punk. But the storyline with Rollins had consequences for another WWE star as well.
WWE was believed to have scrapped plans for Seth Rollins and LA Knight to face off at SummerSlam due to Rollins’ storyline injury. As a result, Knight missed out on a match at the biggest party of the summer.
Knight has not taken the situation lightly and has continued his issues with Seth Rollins and The Vision. Knight will challenge Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at Clash In Paris in a fatal four-way match that also includes CM Punk and Jey Uso.
LA Knight Officially Joins WWE Raw
WWE has now confirmed a major move for Knight as his profile on the company’s website now states that he is part of the Raw brand after apparently making the move from SmackDown.
While Knight is on the hunt for gold on the red brand, Raw is looking for another champion as well. Naomi relinquished her Women’s World Championship as she announced that she was pregnant. WWE has not confirmed what will happen with the vacant title, but Stephanie Vaquer was scheduled to challenge for the gold at Clash In Paris after she won a battle royal at Evolution.
