'Go to AEW' -  WWE Fans Call Out Triple H's Treatment of LA Knight After RAW

Fans have vented their frustrations with Triple H over his decision on WWE RAW to snub LA Knight and book Jey Uso as CM Punk's opponent at Saturday Night's Main Event. The World Heavyweight Championship will be at stake after Seth Rollins was forced to vacate the title.

WWE Fans Accuse Triple H of 'Screwing' LA Knight

Knight participated in a battle royal on RAW with the winner facing Punk for the vacated world title at SNME on November 1st. General manager Adam Pearce surprisingly removed Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed from the main event, which raised curiosity over who would win.

Other stars involved included AJ Styles, Sheamus, Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio while Punk watched from commentary. The Best in the World appeared to tell Knight before the bout that he was hopeful he would win, which made sense given a story being told between the pair in recent weeks.

It wasn't to be for the megastar, though, as Jey picked up the win, throwing out Knight and his twin Jimmy Uso despite the latter helping him remain in the contest twice. He will now go on to the Delta Center in Salt Lake City to challenge for the title he lost to Gunther earlier this year.

While a Jey win helps the ongoing Bloodline drama, it also means Knight missed out on another opportunity to become a WWE world champion. He is one of the most popular stars in the company and received widespread support from fans after RAW.

Many are questioning Triple H's booking decision and feel the 42-year-old must not convince him. One fan wrote:

"How many more times is LA knight going to be screwed over, the booking of this man since 2023 has been one of the poorest out of any wrestler featured as much as him on RAW."

Another added:

"Triple H had CM Punk vs LA Knight on a silver platter and could've pulled a shocking moment with Knight winning. I guess that's too much to ask for."

One pointed out that Jey was pinned by Punk in the trio's triple threat match the week before:

"The guy who lost a #1 contenders match last week won a #1 contenders match tonight. Hey Triple H, what's that 'good things come to those who wait" timetable looking for LA Knight?"

Popular fan Humble Wrestling added:

"I wish somebody in the higher position of authority loved LA Knight like the crowd does. It's so obvious why they don't pull the trigger on him. Very unfortunate."

Another responded:

"I am LEGIT so tired of Triple H passing over LA Knight over and over."

One even suggested Knight head elsewhere:

"LA Knight needs to get the f**k out of WWE. Go to TNA, AEW. Anywhere but WWE."

Knight has all the charisma in the world and has put in the hard work as he's competed in more matches than anyone else on the roster this year. He arrived on the main roster in 2022 and has two reigns as United States Champion to his name during that time.

LA Knight Hinted at Frustration Year After Contract Extension

Many envisioned Knight being in the main event picture after he naturally got over with fans in 2023, even challenging Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Championship. He has been one of the most trustworthy talents because he can work with any opponent, and he has proven to be one of the best on the mic.

The RAW star seemed to echo fans' desire to see him in the main event scene after he liked a telling post in the aftermath of SummerSlam. This told WWE to either book him more strongly or "let him be a world champion elsewhere".

The former TNA star's future was uncertain last year as his previous contract was expected to expire in 2025. But he reportedly put pen to paper on a new deal which included a "significant pay increase", per Fightful Select.

There's no word on when that new contract expires, but fans are now starting to question whether he'll ever be a world champion in WWE. He isn't getting any younger, and the world title scene needs a new, fresh face.
