The upcoming episode of WWE SmackDown will see LA Knight battle Gunther in the finals of John Cena's Last Time Is Now Tournament. Surprisingly, Knight advanced to the last round by defeating Jey Uso in the semifinals on this week's RAW. Meanwhile, The Ring General reached the finals by pinning Solo Sikoa.However, it seems that LA Knight's dream of facing The Franchise Player in his retirement match might be in jeopardy. A 10-time WWE Tag Team Champion could interfere in the finals and cost him his chance of winning the tournament.Jey Uso is the name in question. He has been at odds with Knight so far this year. The duo was vying for the World Heavyweight Championship when Seth Rollins held the gold. Despite having a common enemy, the bitter rivals never worked together, as Jey continued to act under the influence of his cousin, Roman Reigns.Although the 43-year-old was subtly removed from the world title picture after The Visionary relinquished the gold due to injury, it didn't erase the bad blood existing between him and The YEET Master. This week on RAW, the duo shared a ring once again in the semifinals of John Cena's Last Time Is Now Tournament, where LA Knight pinned Jey, much to everyone's surprise.Given that Jey Uso is likely out of the world title picture after losing to CM Punk at SNME XLI, the creative team might consider picking up his storyline with Knight. To pull the trigger on this move, the 10-time WWE Tag Team Champion might be booked to cost the former United States Champion in the finals of The Last Time Is Now Tournament.Moreover, Gunther is expected to defeat Knight and face John Cena on December 13. It makes sense for the creative team to consider leveraging the above angle to enable The Megastar to maintain his momentum after potentially losing to The Ring General. If this happens, it could reignite his feud with Jey Uso as part of a blockbuster storyline.While this angle might sound convincing, it is speculative as of this writing, and fans will have to wait until tonight's episode of SmackDown to see if this comes to fruition.LA Knight has unfinished business with CM PunkLA Knight and CM Punk have a storied history in WWE. Sadly, fans never got to see the duo go one-on-one before Knight was subtly removed from the World Heavyweight Championship scene.However, many believe that Knight still deserves a singles match against Punk to conclude their rivalry. Since The Second City Saint now holds the World Heavyweight Championship, it makes sense to put the title on the line in the feud.That said, it will be interesting to see if the creative team considers developing this storyline after CM Punk defends his title against Bron Breakker on January 5, 2026.
