Summary

LA Knight said the rumor of a WrestleMania 42 match against Brock Lesnar made sense to him, especially after he eliminated Lesnar in the Royal Rumble.

Knight is currently set to team with Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso against Logan Paul, Austin Theory, and IShowSpeed at WrestleMania 42, while Lesnar is slated to face Oba Femi. Lesnar has already been part of the wider WrestleMania 42 build, including prop odds centered on his match with Oba Femi.

Quote from LA Knight

"Look man, that’s a marquee match no matter what way you look at it. Brock’s been a huge name for 20 years. With that being the case, I mean, jeez, you end up in a match like look, Oba’s killing it with that whole thing.

So Oba got the spot with Brock. You know, it was rumored that I might have the spot with Brock, and I did eliminate him in the Royal Rumble. With that being the case, I mean, it could have fit. But yeah, either position [is] very unique. Very good spot to be in either way."

What LA Knight's Brock Lesnar Comment Means For WrestleMania 42

LA Knight directly tied the rumor to a piece of WWE continuity, his Royal Rumble elimination of Brock Lesnar, and that gives the idea a little more logic than a random dream match. Even though WWE went with Lesnar vs. Oba Femi instead, Knight's comments show there was a believable route to placing him in a higher-profile singles program on the card.

It also reinforces where Knight sits on the WrestleMania 42 lineup. Even in a different match, he is still being presented as a major part of the weekend, and his name being connected to Lesnar says plenty about how strong his spot remains.
