Without Landing a Single Punch, LA Knight Knocks Out The Bloodline, Even After the Memorable Tribal Court on SmackDown

There is almost no doubt that The Bloodline has been the top stable in the WWE main roster for some years now. Comprising past and present champions, albeit warring, the group has been a constant top draw. But they were not enough to stop LA Knight!

This past Friday, he single-handedly took on the Anoa’i family members and won. However, the fans played a major role in Knight’s victory.

Knight, 40, has struck a chord with the WWE Universe. He’s their new favorite superstar. Some believe it must be the WWE’s booking that’s doing the trick. However, WWE did not even feature the wrestler on their main show at Madison Square Garden, earning the ire of fans.

But LA Knight’s red-hot form managed to overcome that obstacle as well. Knight was seen feuding with NXT’s Hit Row stable, taking out the group. His appearance, however, wasn’t aired on TV. But after WWE uploaded the segment on their official Twitter account, it managed to garner enough views to outdo videos of The Bloodline.

As of now, Knight’s segment has been played about 2.2 million times. The WWE has uploaded four posts from the Bloodline drama. Combined, they have a view count of 2.03 million, which is less than the views that the video featuring Knight has received.

In the past few weeks, Knight has witnessed a sharp rise in his stocks in WWE as the crowd has rallied him, despite being a heel. The support in one of the venues was so massive that the promotion had to pipe in boos to match the narrative and gimmick.

Meanwhile, The Bloodline churned out another classic, proving why they are one of the most popular factions in the pro-wrestling world.

Is Jey Uso set to take on Roman Reigns at SummerSlam 2023?

The last episode of WWE SmackDown had yet another memorable segment of The Bloodline. The show set apart significant airtime for the stable as twins Jimmy and Jey Uso set up a trial of their cousin Roman Reigns.

The tribal court segment had Roman Reigns playing his gimmick to the T. He cried, tried to gaslight his cousins and just when it looked like Reigns was apologizing for his mistakes, he hit Jey Uso with a low blow.

In the ensuing fisticuff, Solo Sikoa and Reigns managed to take out the older twin- Jimmy, who was rushed to the hospital (kayfabe), leaving Jey alone. The WWE is likely to have teased a showdown between Reigns and Jey Uso at SummerSlam in a singles match. The PLE is scheduled to take place on August 5 at Ford Field in Michigan.

That said, WWE Universe would also want the promotion to set up LA Knight for a good match. But nothing has been finalized yet and fans will have to wait for the Stamford-based promotion to reveal the match cards.

So, what’s your take on LA Knight dominating The Bloodline? Let us know in the comments.
