#3 Eli Drake, aka LA Knight, might set his eyes on Johnny Gargano's NXT North American Championship
Trending
Eli Drake, now known as LA Knight, made his surprise WWE debut at the pre-show of NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day. The former IMPACT World Champion instantly put the roster on notice by saying he'll come for any title he wishes to win. The 38-year old Superstar can prove to be a vital player for NXT due to his tremendous mic skills and decent in-ring chops.
While it doesn't seem realistic that he would be straight away be thrust into the NXT Championship picture, a feud with Johhny Gargano for the NXT North American Championship might prove to be memorable. Yes, Knight is seemingly a heel, and so is Gargano, but their verbal interactions could be unimaginably funny, and the creative team must consider booking this rivalry.
Also, as experienced as LA Knight is, he's not on the level of others on the roster as far as in-ring work is considered. A series of bouts with a performer of Gargano's stature might be the best opportunity to hide his drawbacks in the ring and maximize the character work.
