5 Potential feuds for LA Knight in NXT

#1 Feud for LA Knight in NXT - Finn Balor

Balor must get by Cole one more time.

While his name and previous work alone speak for LA Knight, the biggest way for him to make a huge impact in NXT is to go after the top dog. At the moment, that top name is NXT Champion Finn Balor. There's also Tommaso Ciampa, Karrion Kross, Kyle O'Reilly, and Johnny Gargano.

It won't happen right away. But if Balor is still holding the NXT Championship following WrestleMania 37 week, then he could be facing Knight at some point in the second half of 2021. The Prince has salvaged himself in NXT after being dispatched from the main roster by The Fiend. Balor may not have been earmarked for this current title run, but an injury to Kross forced the hand of NXT's decision-makers.

Knight called Balor out by name in his initial NXT promo, so the two men will face off at some point this year. The man who was formerly known as Eli Drake already thinks he's the greatest NXT Superstar of all time. For that perception to become a possible reality, he needs to battle and defeat Finn Balor.

Balor is atop the Mount Rushmore of NXT Superstars, so beating someone like him would do wonders for a performer trying to establish dominance in a new company. Balor vs. Knight might occur in the latter stages of 2021, but expect the two to square off this year.
