Eric Bischoff believes that LA Knight’s loss to Roman Reigns will help him in the long run.
Knight challenged for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship this past weekend at Crown Jewel. For many fans, it was a foregone conclusion that Knight would lose the matchup.
However, some have looked at it as a positive for Knight, despite the loss. This includes Eric Bischoff.
Speaking on 83 Weeks, Bischoff noted that he believes Knight’s loss to Reigns will only help him.
“I don’t think the loss to Roman is going to make one bit of difference. I don’t think it’s going to stall his momentum. If anything, it’s going to make his fanbase want it even more, and that’s what you hope for. You want the fans to want it more than LA Knight wants it. You want the fans to want it more than the company wants it. You want the fans to become undeniable in their desire to see LA Knight advance. I don’t think it’s going to be very difficult at all for LA Knight to pick up right where he left off, I really don’t. If anything, in a weird way, I think it’s going to help him,”

Knight would lose to Roman off a Bloodline interference, and it is unknown what direction Knight will have going forward.
