WWE's New Top Babyface REVEALED
SmackDown has a new sheriff in town.
LA Knight is now considered the top babyface on WWE SmackDown, reports WrestleVotes.
The insider Twitter/X account stated on Tuesday that WWE's latest internal "roster board" has been leaked, showing Knight at the top of SmackDown's face list. It notes, too, that Bobby Lashley and the Street Profits are now down as heels, having cemented an onscreen faction in recent weeks.
Per WrestleVotes:
The latest “talent board”, which is used internally, saw an update post Payback on 9/3. Interesting news from the SmackDown side lists LA Knight as the top babyface. In addition, Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits are now categorized as heels.
In a reply, WrestleVotes also notes that Iyo Sky remains the top-listed heel in SmackDown's women's rankings.
LA Knight has steadily risen to become one of the most popular wrestlers in WWE, commanding booming crowd reactions at every juncture. Recently, he has been feuding with The Miz, defeating the WWE veteran at last week's Payback premium live event the night after being endorsed by a returning John Cena on SmackDown.
Sky, meanwhile, has been WWE Women's Champion since last month's SummerSlam event, where she cashed in her Money in the Bank briefcase to dethrone Bianca Belair.
