Bully Ray says WWE could use Seth Rollins as champion to get LA Knight over. Speaking on Busted Open Radio alongside Dave LeGreca, Bully Ray discussed the prospect of Rollins facing Knight after SummerSlam.
“If Seth is going to win and defeat Roman, and Roman is going to leave and now it’s going to be LA Knight and Seth, and they used last week as a planting on the seed to see how it would go, and then (Monday) was the follow up as far as crowd investment, I would not be shocked to see them use Seth Rollins as your champion to get LA Knight over.”
“With both of them face-to-face, I think LA Knight has the best chance of succeeding, chasing Seth Rollins.”
Rollins challenges Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam on August 1 and 2. Knight confronted Rollins on the July 6 episode of Raw and was attacked by Jimmy Uso, after which Rollins said Knight could be the first to challenge for the title if he beats Reigns.
Knight teams with Royce Keys and Solo Sikoa against Jacob Fatu and The Usos at SummerSlam.
