5 Potential feuds for LA Knight in NXT

#4 Feud for LA Knight in NXT - Kushida

Kushida

The two main opponents for current NXT North American Champion Johnny Gargano have been Kushida and Dexter Lumis. Gargano beat Kushida, albeit with some outside help. Since that melee, The Way has been entangled with Lumis and how the latter abducted Austin Theory.

Theory doesn't seem traumatized, and Indi Hartwell seems to be infatuated with Lumis. With Kushida out of the picture at the moment, he could ease into a feud with Knight after the latter battles the Colossal One. Had Kushida won the North American title from Gargano, it would have been good to have the belt transition to Knight after a few defenses from the Time Splitter.

After all, Kushida is a hard-hitting face and Knight is a loudmouth heel. The Time Splitter does his talking in the ring and Knight would sell the feud all by himself in terms of promos.

With the implosion of the Undisputed Era, the dynamics of NXT are slightly shifting. Adam Cole is again a top heel while Karrion Kross and his status will be dictated by the person against whom he feuds next. Knight could be another top-level heel for NXT and one that can spin a yarn on the mic.

A feud against Kushida would help LA Knight to move up the ladder and earn his status as a top heel.
