10 New Directions For WWE After Crown Jewel 2023
6. Then LA Knight Taking The Belt From Him?
Now isn't this an interesting proposition?
LA Knight and Logan Paul previously came nose-to-nose on an episode of SmackDown over the summer via the Grayson Waller Effect. Post-Crown Jewel, there will be calls for WWE to strap another rocket to Knight's back, put him in a featured spot come Royal Rumble (maybe he'll win it) and then book something big for him come 'Mania.
This writer thinks someone else should get the Rumble nod. Exactly who is up in the air, but he'd much rather see LA resume his beef with Paul and eventually take the United States Title from him in April. That'd give Logan a long-enough run to matter, and it'd keep Knight in the spotlight via a marquee match.
It's win-win then. LA deserves better than to slip off the face of the earth after losing to Roman Reigns in Riyadh, but his World Title ambitions might need to be put on ice whilst he goes after Paul and a suddenly-elevated midcard strap.
