Over the last few months LA Knight has been one of the stars to watch in WWE and the fans have clearly been reacting to just about everything he does when he appears on screen. For weeks LA Knight claimed that WrestleMania would be getting a LA Knight moment, but when the show aired live from SoFi Stadium he was nowhere to be seen.
According to the WRKD Wrestling account original plans called for LA Knight to appear in a segment with Bobby Lashley during night 2 of WrestleMania 39.
A noticeable on-screen absence from this weekend’s #WrestleMania was LA Knight, even after saying, “WrestleMania will get that LA Knight moment!”
We’re told Knight was scheduled to have a segment with Lashley on night two. We are unsure, as of now, why the change was made. pic.twitter.com/duku4I6q9q

Last week on SmackDown, Bobby Lashley won the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal and then he issued an open challenge for WrestleMania 39. However, Lashley’s challenge never took place as he instead made his way out to the stage to show off his Andre The Giant trophy and that was it.
There’s currently no word on why the segment was cut, but Vince McMahon was at WrestleMania 39, and it was recently reported that he was firmly in control at the Raw after WrestleMania. It was also reported that numerous changes were being made to Raw this week even after the show was on the air.
