Should LA Knight be the one to dethrone Roman Reigns as Undisputed WWE Universal Champion? Thunder Rosa believes so.
At WrestleMania 39, Cody Rhodes failed to ‘finish the story’ despite many fans being convinced he’d be the one to defeat Reigns and end his historic run as champion.
On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Rosa spoke about the popularity of LA Knight and believes it is time to dethrone the Tribal Chief. She said,
“Who will be the next that can be over as hell that can take that title, and take it to the next level? At this moment right now, on Friday, it’s LA Knight. They didn’t push him, they didn’t shove him [down] our throats, it was natural.
“The guy is hot with the fans. Everybody’s like, ‘Yeah! Yeah!’ and everywhere you go — that’s the kind of thing that makes a superstar a superstar. He’s a superstar.
“I think they’re taking too long with the ‘finish the story.’ I was kinda upset that he didn’t get the title [at WrestleMania 39] because he was hot at the time. I bet they were not expecting this, either, with LA Knight. They were not expecting him to get how hot he is at this point.”
Knight will challenge Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WWE Crown Jewel 2023. A contract signing will take place next week on SmackDown on FS1.
