There are several WWE stars who are currently working their way up the ladder and it’s been clear for months now that LA Knight is one of the names to watch. Knight’s popularity has been growing with each passing week, but there’s been some speculation regarding whether or not WWE would capitalize on his momentum.
It looks like people have taken notice of LA Knight as WrestleVotes is reporting that internally he is listed as the top babyface on SmackDown. It was also noted that Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits are now listed as heels.
“The latest “talent board”, which is used internally, saw an update post Payback on 9/3. Interesting news from the SmackDown side lists LA Knight as the top babyface. In addition, Bobby Lashley & The Street Profits are now categorized as heels.”

For months now fans have been waiting for LA Knight to get an opportunity with an ongoing feud and he kicked off a heated rivalry with The Miz a few weeks ago. Ultimately LA Knight defeated The Miz at Payback over the weekend with John Cena working as the special guest referee for the match. After it was all said and done Cena showed respect to LA Knight when he met him at the entrance area then lifted up his arm.
Now that LA Knight has picked up a big win over The Miz it will be interesting to see where he goes from here.
