He won the Slim Jim Battle Royal at Summerslam. He won clean against The Miz at Payback. He gets the rub/endorsement from John Cena. So what's next for LA Knight? Does he take the IC title from GUNTHER? Does he stay on Smackdown? It's kind of a blur what direction they go next with him.

He should have dropped Theory for the US Title, but they didn't go that way
Gunther would be a good pick if Gable isn't doing it.

I’d give him more of a personal grudge feud, really get the crowd to know who he is and then down the line get him a title

I’d keep the Miz feud going for another month or so.

Cena endorsed him, not that he really needed it. I'd run with that if Big Match John is sticking around for a bit. If you are going to make him, MAKE HIM.

Gunther makes sense since the Imperium guy is trying to get with LA Knight's sister, Maxxine Dupri.

It seems like they actually want to push him and take advantage of his popularity, which is a switch from their normal "buy time until we can bury him" game plan for these situations, so good on him. Cena endorsed him, not that he really needed it. I'd run with that if Big Match John is sticking around for a bit. If you are going to make him, MAKE HIM. I was thinking they could do some Cena/Knight-Miz/Bronson Reed tag team matches. Maybe find a way to use that to set up a Cena-Knight one-on-one match where Knight goes over. Of course once you get to that point you're basically obligated to have LA Knight main eventing WrestleMania and I really don't think that's in the cards. Personally I think they should just have him beat Gunther for the IC Title ASAP.

For a starmaking match, the audience wasn't as into it as they should have been. I think more people like him talking than like him wrestling.

Honestly, I just don’t think he can rise to that next level as an in-ring guy. He’s going to have a hard time on RAW now especially with Jey on there. Jey’s the guy to beat Gunther, heck, maybe even Seth.

LA Knight on a video game cover. The next game should go back to the old Smackdown series for its title.
SmackDown: Let Me Talk To Ya!

They tried with the build but the match had no jeopardy, everyone knew who was going over so Miz' looong periods of heat were ineffective, they popped for the finish once we finally got there.

I believe he's a Smackdown guy, so he should do better over there if he gets involved with the Bloodline.

Probably should have had Theory drop the US title to him.

I see it going to be a Cody Rhodes/LA Knight final 2 at the Rumble. A face vs face feud match with Cody at Elimination Chamber ending in Roman shenanigans, and a triple threat with Roman at Mania 40. Roman loses the titles without being pinned.
Whichever face wins will face Roman at Summerslam in a singles match and get the big win on him there.
