10 WWE Wrestlers In Danger Of Missing Out On WrestleMania 41

4. LA Knight

LA Knight routinely plays before some of the hottest crowd interactions on each show. People can't get enough of chanting his name then a loud, "YEAH!", and there's no sign of that stopping any time soon. It's a slight surprise then that one of the best babyfaces on the roster is rudderless heading into 'Mania season. Knight has been on/off feuding with former Bloodline members Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga.

He also had some beef with former New Bloodline leader Solo Sikoa, but even that's dried up since WWE dangled a huge question mark above Solo's head. Now, it looks for all the world as though Sikoa vs. Fatu is the natural story. Their battle of disappointing leader vs. disappointed soldier shoves Knight to one side and means he's scrambling for something/anything on the 'grandaddy of them all'.

WWE clearly likes the thought of prolonging LA's chase for Shinsuke Nakamura's United States Title, but there's a 'been there, done that' atmosphere to their rivalry that doesn't feel grand enough for WrestleMania 41. Last year, Knight was victorious vs. AJ Styles, but it looks like 2025 will be less kind to the 'Mega Star'. Meanwhile, some believe AJ will find his way into the Intercontinental Title picture or nestle nicely into another spot on either night because he's only just returned from injury at Royal Rumble.

Nothing has been building for Knight other than a potential one on one vs. Jacob. That might be pencilled in, but Fatu lashing out at Sikoa sounds like a more urgent and up tempo story for the writers to pursue.
