Peter Rosenberg has suggested that a surprise alliance could help LA Knight defeat Roman Reigns at WWE Money in the Bank, potentially setting up a major heel turn.
With Reigns focused on Knight and The Usos dealing with their own rivals on RAW, Rosenberg questioned whether The Bloodline’s problems could be connected.
Speaking on Cheap Heat, he discussed a caller’s suggestion that interference could lead to Knight winning the title. Rosenberg took that idea a step further, asking whether Knight could secretly be involved with the faction targeting The Usos.
“A caller presented this week on Busted Open that, what if 946 shenanigans happen and LA Knight ends up winning? and Dave (LaGreca) used the very rational response of, ‘I don’t wanna see basically a heel faction lead to a babyface winning the title.’ And I think that’s a fair old school way of looking at it. But what if LA Knight turns out ot have some sort of association?”
Rosenberg believes Knight’s strong connection with fans could make a heel turn particularly effective. He suggested that Knight could explain his actions by saying he needed help to finally reach the top.
“And listen, we may not ever get the Cody turn, even though we think everyone’s ready for it. Maybe the reason LA Knight would be a sick turn, SGG, is because there are still so many people who cheer for him so passionately and he could always be like, ‘I never could get over the mountain. I wasn’t able to get to the top the way things were. I had to go get help.’”
The idea remains Rosenberg’s suggestion, rather than a confirmed WWE storyline.
Knight has also addressed his relationship with the audience during an appearance on Insight. Reflecting on his rise in popularity, he recalled how some people expected the support to fade quickly.
“In March of 2023 was the first time I noticed, but noticing it continue to pick up and continuing to progress would have been just all through that spring and summer. But the crazy thing is, I think there were a lot of people leaning on the idea that that was going to be a fad. There were a lot of people leaning on the idea that was going to be a flavor of the month, that that was going to be a passing thing, and here we are, 2026, I walk in the ring last night.”
Although Knight acknowledged that the reactions may not always match their previous peak, he pointed out that fans continue to chant his name.
“Now, you could argue, yeah, maybe the reactions aren’t quite as big as they were at that time. I’m gonna tell you why that is in a second, but if you notice last night, I still circle around, I get the thing, and I stand there, and they still chant the name. Now, you could say that’s programming, you could say that’s passion, you could say it’s whatever it is. Bottom line is, it’s still there.”
Knight believes having a clear direction is key to bringing those reactions back to their strongest level. He pointed to his rivalry with Seth Rollins and The Vision as an example of how a meaningful storyline can renew that excitement.
“However, the reason it’s not as big as it was is because right now I’m just kind of a man without a country, so to speak. I don’t have a set trajectory at this moment. If you look at last year, last summer, when I started, all of a sudden me and Seth were going for the title, and it’s me and The Vision. There it was renewed again.”
“So it’s a matter of just making sure that I’ve got direction, I’ve got somewhere to go, and I’ve got somewhere that people care about, and something that people can sink their teeth into that then takes it up from an 8 up to a 10 and beyond. So I think that’s really just the key to the whole thing, and it’s kind of crazy that it’s kept on this long when I don’t think a lot of people are counting on that being the case.”
