Though this might not change the course of the finale between Gunther and LA Knight, the backstage update leaves fans wondering if some within the company had lost their interest in the Ring General. Time will tell what WWE has in store for the stars next.

While LA Knight has been booked quite strongly throughout The Last Time Is Now Tournament, his defeating Gunther to become Cena’s final opponent would be a big push. Though Knight deserves the rub against Cena, WWE seemingly isn’t ready for the big move yet.
