Cody Rhodes to bring in 20-year veteran from SmackDown to fight against The Judgment Day at Survivor Series 2023? Exploring the chances

If Drew McIntyre is officially named the fifth member of The Judgment Day at Survivor Series 2023, Cody Rhodes may call up the 20-year veteran, LA Knight, from SmackDown to face the heel faction at the PLE.

On last week's RAW, The Scottish Warrior shook Rhea Ripley's hand, indicating that he will most likely join The Judgment Day's WarGames team at Survivor Series as their fifth member.

If so, Rhodes' team will also require a fifth member. Cody may use his backstage influence to acquire LA Knight from SmackDown, much like he did to compel Jey Uso to join the WWE roster.

Cody helped Knight fend off The Bloodline on SmackDown last week. He could talk to Nick Aldis and bring in LA Knight to his team if they require an extra member to make up for Drew's likely participation in WarGames.

Knight still lacks a clear plan for the event in Chicago, even though it seemed like he was making a move into the main event scene last month. He will most likely be involved in a major match at WrestleMania in the following year. He needs to be at the top of the WWE ladder to get to that match, and joining Rhodes' squad in Chicago may help him get there.

At this moment, it's still speculation, and it's uncertain whether Knight will pair up with Cody Rhodes because he can always battle someone else at the event. However, Cody can call on the Megastar for the event if he has no one else to turn to.
