LA Knight has been on an unstoppable momentum since winning the United States Championship at SummerSlam. He defended his title on multiple occasions and has been looking to cement his legacy as a top champion. However, his aspirations may be cut short as a seven-time WWE champion could make a shocking return and confront The Megastar on SmackDown.
The name in question is Shinsuke Nakamura. The King of Strong Style has been off of WWE TV since April, but he competed on multiple house shows against LA Knight in Berlin last month. With Nakamura being considered one of the more underutilized names in WWE, he could return and feud with the defending champion. However, the possibility of it happening seems relatively low.
According to a recent report from Wrestling Observer Radio, the company currently has no plans for the former Intercontinental Champion. The veteran superstar has made sporadic appearances on house shows, but the prospect of his return on SmackDown falls drastically, given the recent reports.

However, the Triple H-led regime is known for pulling off huge surprises, so Nakamura's return is not implausible. Only time will tell who is going to step up against The Megastar on SmackDown next. It is also going to be interesting to see when the King of Strong Style returns to WWE TV.
LA Knight might defend his title at Crown Jewel in a multi-person match
LA Knight has been the United States Champion for over 50 days now. While he defended his championship three times so far in his run, all this came on SmackDown rather than a premium live event. However, Crown Jewel could be the place where it ends, as The Megastar could defend his championship in a multi-person match.
As of now, Knight has no clear direction on SmackDown, which makes it highly unlikely that he would compete at Bad Blood. However, there are high chances for him to be featured on the card for Crown Jewel considering his popularity in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Moreover, he has been seeking a spot at a PLE.
With the ongoing storyline on the blue brand, it looks like LA Knight could defend the United States Championship in a multi-person match against Andrade and Carmelo Hayes. The chances of this happening are quite high, as it would allow WWE to feature multiple talents at the grand spectacle
Moreover, Andrade and Carmelo, who recently put on a well-received best-of-five series, would receive more spotlight. It is going to be interesting to see how things would transpire from here on to shape the card of Crown Jewel.
