One of the ways to save Knight after the recent loss can be by turning him into a villainous star. Since moving to the main roster, the former United States Champion has worked mainly as a babyface and gained popularity with the audience.

However, it's high time to finally turn Knight into a heel. This move will bring a fresh take to his current character and can lead to some dream feuds in the near future.

#2. A massive win at Royal Rumble 2026 or WWE Elimination Chamber match

Another way to save Knight after his loss in the Last Time is Now tournament is to win the Men's Royal Rumble 2026 or the Elimination Chamber match. A victory in the Rumble match will secure him a world title match at WrestleMania 42, making the road to Mania interesting for him.

If not a Rumble victory, then he should win the Men's Elimination Chamber match and eventually challenge CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship at Showcase of Immortals. Either victory will help WWE rejuvenate Knight's momentum.


#1. Join The Vision

Joining The Vision could be another great way to get LA Knight's career back on track in WWE. The Vision is currently a major highlight on Monday Night RAW. Paul Heyman's alliance is getting attention from the audience, and by putting the Megastar in the mix, the company can make things more interesting.

Knight, as a Vision member, can even win the world title or the mid-card championship with the help of the heel faction members. This will not only turn the 43-year-old star into a heel star but can also lead to Heyman and Knight working together.

These are some of the ways by which the World Wrestling Entertainment can save LA Knight after what happened on the latest SmackDown.
