An impromptu match on WWE Raw followed a staggering reaction at Madison Square Garden and it could lead to a push for the star in question.
Yesterday, on social media, LA Knight demanded his WrestleMania moment, only to receive a challenge from Cody Rhodes if he could get to WWE Raw in Providence, Rhode Island.
Knight would accept the challenge and the match was set.
Dave Meltzer addressed the encounter on Wrestling Observer Radio and also the possibility that this could lead to a push for Knight, saying:
“As far as LA Knight goes, at Madison Square Garden (Sunday night), LA Knight was in the battle royal and he got a big babyface reaction.
“Madison Square Garden and WWE, it’s a weird thing because, if it was any other arena in the country, they’d just go, ‘Ah whatever, it doesn’t matter’, they don’t listen to the crowd. But if it’s Madison Square Garden, they do listen.
“So it’s something to just remember, because it helped LA Knight a lot. Obviously he’s just there to basically be a guy who talks real good and then gets humiliated, that’s been his role since he got there, and he got a lot of offense in this match (vs Rhodes on Raw), they went longer than I expected them to do, and it’s because, if the Garden fans like you…
“The Toronto fans are Bizarro Land, the Montreal fans are Bizarro Land – the Garden fans, when they’re Bizarro Land, it counts. So it counts for him.”

Fightful recently reported that WWE had made “multiple pitches” to Stone Cold Steve Austin to get him involved in WrestleMania 39 on April 1 & 2.
One of the names suggested as an opponent was LA Knight, though there’s no indication as to whether this match will happen at the upcoming Premium Live Event.
