Maybe it’ll finally be LA Knight’s time.
The long-awaited singles push that all WWE fans have been waiting for over the years could arrive after the latest King of the Ring tournament results on “Monday Night Raw.”
Seth Rollins, Ricky Saints, Je’Von Evans and Talla Tonga met in a fatal four-way match in the quarterfinals of the tournament. With the way Rollins was talking backstage, it seemed like he thought Bron Breakker and The Vision were behind him. He turned his attention to the World Heavyweight Championship and Roman Reigns before the match.

Rollins quickly learned that putting The Vision in the rearview mirror was easier said than done. Rollins was about to get the better of the Saints when Austin Theory stopped the referee from continuing the count. Montez Ford appeared to support Rollins as his attention turned to Theory. But Breakker was there to throw Rollins.
Evans took advantage and hit an OG Cutter on the Saints. He pinned the Saints to earn a shocking victory. But Evans’ victory could make Knight’s path to the King of the Ring final even easier.
First, Knight has to win his match.
He had words for The Bloodline as he walked to the ring. He said he expects The Bloodline to be in Jey Uso’s corner when their fatal four-way match takes place on “Friday Night SmackDown.”
“I may not be chosen, but each and every one of you chose me,” Knight told the Parisian crowd. “And more important than all of that, I chose myself, which means I do it my way, which means I do the work. And I make one promise to you one and only, and that is I don’t know how to stop. I don’t know how to stop. I can’t stop the undeniable kavorka and I can’t stop being LA Knight.”

Uso came out to fire his “warning shot” at Knight, but the “unpicked” made it clear he was determined to get past him, Royce Keys and Finn Balor on Friday.
If Knight wins, the path will be a little easier. Evans proved himself to be a worthy opponent with his incredible in-ring acrobatics. He demonstrated this in a six-pack match at WrestleMania 42 and then almost won the Intercontinental Championship.
On the other side, Oba Femi will face Dominik Mysterio. Judgment Day couldn’t get the better of Femi as JD McDonagh hit a chairshot, but Femi was immobile. Even Mysterio, after a 619, couldn’t complete the frog splash.
But Femi, at ring level, is distracted. He wants a world title around his waist but he has his eyes on Brock Lesnar. Their series is tied 1-1 and appears to be headed for a crash course at SummerSlam. Femi could easily defeat Mysterio and advance to the Night of Champions final. If he faces Knight, Lesnar could get involved and cost Femi a title shot.
The scenario is written there. Knight gets his last chance against Reigns – in a singles match this time – on one of the biggest stages WWE has to offer. What happens next is up to WWE? This would definitely be a great build after Night of Champions and possibly SummerSlam Night 1.

Knight propelled WWE fans into 2023 with the Summer of Knight. He earned a title shot at Crown Jewel that year, but lost to Reigns. He got another chance at Royal Rumble 2024, but in a fatal quadruple against Reigns, AJ Styles and Randy Orton.
This could be Knight’s last chance to capture the gold.
