Let's see after Crown Jewel, how strong they keep him. I don’t understand why everyone is tweaking about this. This is LA Knight’s second year in the company. Cena’s second year he was losing to Taker, Eddie, Angle, and a title match to Brock and he ended up fine

Cena’s second year he was losing to Taker, Eddie, Angle, and a title match to Brock and he ended up fine In his second year Cena was a midcard heel and was in his mid twenties. Dude was supposed to lose to the big faces on Smackdown. Knight is 41 years old, and currently is the most over babyface on the roster alongside Cody. Who knows what tomorrow may bring, but this might be the last chance they have to strike while the iron is red hot with Knight, and there is a chance that he could cool off after Crown Jewel. That is the reason for the concern, and it's pretty understandable.

LA Knight's second year in WWE is the twentieth year of his.

He came out okay.
I guess he runs through Jimmy and Solo and now.

he kicked out of a spear and looked pretty damn amazing but it is a shame that's almost certainly the last chance he is getting against roman

He'll be fine like Cody, Sami, Jey and all these others who lose to Reigns. They'll keep him good until WM when he'll face Logan Paul for the US Title and win. Feels right.

Feels right. i wouldn't be surprised if after winning the US Title at night 1, he shows up night 2 to give roman a receipt to help Cody win actually it isn't like anything is going to stop knight's popularity, he is only going to get more popular from this point forward because people feel like he was cheated. that is underdog 101

So dude lost to Reigns thanks to Solo and Jimmmy interfering. Colour me shocked.
And once again, the challenger looks like a dunce for not doing anything to counter the inevitable Bloodline run-in.

Like, people losing to "Tribal Chief" Roman Reigns is way different than people losing to "The Big Dog" Roman Reigns. With the prior it was done usually clean, against a face and the narrative was that Reigns was just better. Here it's by cheating, against a super heel and the announcers make note that it's done because Reigns cheats and he's bad. The latter makes guys bigger underdogs.
I think people are just upset by it (rightfully so) and assuming it's the same song and dance when really nah, it's a bit different. You can be upset but again, it's different.

The reason I'm upset is that it's always the same - challenger has Roman dead to rights, one of Romans cousins does a run-in, Roman wins. And the challenger looks like a tool for not doing anything to counter Romans cousins sticking their noses in. Knight made such a big deal about Roman needing so many opportunities to win the big one for the first time, yet he does nothing to make sure either Jimmmy or Solo don't get involved.

When Roman loses the title, they should have the face have Roman in their sights, Romans friends try to help, challenger outsmarts Roman by having his pals stop them, Roman realizes his goose is cooked, then gets pinned.

After 3+yrs of this....it makes LA Knight look like an absoloute dumbass
He should have taken counter measures and counters to the counter measures by either getting Aldis to Ban anyone from interfering or having the likes of Sami , Jey , KO , Cody all standing by to run interference for him while he handles business.
There is no excuse in kayfabe that can logically explain how he did not see this coming....Roman is doing nothing but spamming the same game plan because everyone else is too dumb to learn and adapt.

Cena’s second year he was losing to Taker, Eddie, Angle, and a title match to Brock and he ended up fine A couple of things about this - Cena was in his mid-twenties and Knight is in his forties. They need to strike while the iron is hot.
I think the biggest thing he can do now is dethrone Gunther

Yeah this didn't make Knight look good at all
I'm sure he'll be FINE, but after three years of the same f***ing match, no one in the company takes measures to stop The Bloodline interference and then they lose the exact same way
It's stupid and so cheaply booked that every single Roman match is the same anymore. Above all else it's just insanely boring.

Did he really need to “look good in defeat”? He’s mega over so just have him kick someone’s ass. Getting the rub by working with Roman is cool I guess but like everyone is saying, he just looks dumb like everyone has for years.

Above all else it's just insanely boring. Maybe reading it on paper you would say it’s boring, but I wouldn’t call the match today boring at all. Roman still is putting out excellent match after excellent match with the crowd totally into it.

Roman still is putting out excellent match after excellent match with the crowd totally into it. Roman's workrate has never been in dispute, he can in fact work a great match It's kind of the same issue EVIL has with me though in that "It doesn't matter, it just ends the exact same way, it follows the exact same formula" maybe even worse because Roman just does not lose. It's just dull, to me. Knowing this was gonna continue on another full year has checked me out super hard on the main event scene in the company.

At least Knight kicking the crap out of Jimmmy should be fun.

I mean, you can't fight the top guy in the company, not win and then move on to something else and it's not deemed going down the card. There's nowhere higher to go, it's something that happens by default. But the average fan these days isn't so cut-throat as to completely abandon their support of Knight solely off of this. As usual, it's all about follow-up.
