Eric Bischoff is a big fan of LA Knight.
LA Knight unfortunately had to miss Friday’s SmackDown due to testing positive for Covid-19, but he is still involved in plans for big things at Fastlane, should he get over his bout with the illness before the show.
During Wrestling Observer Radio earlier this week it was reported that LA Knight will likely be Cena’s partner at Fastlane.
Bischoff believes the former Eli Drake is a major star sitting in the waiting room for the future on his most recent podcast. He also had plenty of praise for “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes.
“There’s probably multiple answers to that. There’s no wrong answer,” says Eric. “I think for the future, LA Knight. I think LA Knight’s gonna end up being a massive star. He’s not yet. He’s a big star. He’s a huge star, but he’s not as big as he’s going to be in the future. So, he is a massive star in the waiting room. Roman Reigns certainly is the man right now. That’s where the focus is. Cody’s got to be the guy. As of right now, Cody is the future of WWE, over the next 24 to 36 months for sure. What happens after that? Who knows. Injuries, other opportunities, other stars that come out of the woodwork, kind of like LA Knight has, you know, who knows what the future is?
“I would imagine, again, I don’t talk to anybody in WWE about creative stuff, but I would imagine most of the planning and the conversations are all around Cody and what’s going to happen at WrestleMania. By that metric alone, I would say Cody,”

Cena is currently scheduled for tag team action at Fastlane against Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa, but his previous partner, AJ Styles was taken out by The Bloodline.
Now, Cena is left without a partner for the event, which seems to be where Knight will slide in to an undoubtedly huge reaction for the incredibly over mega star.
