RUMOR: Another Surprising Move You Could See In The WWE Draft

Fast turnaround. NXT is changing every week these days as WWE continues to overhaul the brand into a new version of what it has been for years. This has included a variety of changes being made to the roster, as wrestlers have been coming and going all over the place. The WWE Draft could shake things up even more, and now we might know another name being brought up.

According to the Mat Men Wrestling podcast, NXT’s LA Knight may be called up to the main roster during the upcoming WWE Draft. Knight debuted in February and went on to win the Million Dollar Title in a feud with Cameron Grimes. Since then, Knight has begun chasing the NXT Title. Knight is a former Impact Wrestling World Champion and NWA Tag Team Champion. The Draft begins this week on SmackDown and ends next week on Monday Night Raw.

Knight has done quite well in NXT. Check out some of his time there:

LA Knight ruthlessly turns on Ted DiBiase: WWE NXT, June 15, 2021

Johnny Gargano vs. LA Knight: WWE NXT, Aug. 31, 2021

Drake Maverick vs. LA Knight: WWE NXT, July 20, 2021

Opinion: This is one of those moves that would make a lot of sense as Knight is the kind of wrestler who was ready for the main roster the day he debuted in NXT. Knight has been around some pretty big promotions at a high level and has the experience necessary. Throw in some of his great talking abilities and I can’t imagine why WWE would not want him on the main roster.

What do you think of Knight? Will he be called up? Let us know in the comments below.
