At Crown Jewel 2023, LA Knight faced a setback in a match against Roman Reigns. Despite the loss, The Megastar's performance earned praise from fans. As the Premium Live event fallout unfolds, tonight's edition of WWE SmackDown appears to be laying the groundwork for LA Knight's next feud.
The superstar in question set to be involved in a feud with the Megastar is Grayson Waller. The 33-year-old is aligned with Austin Theory on the blue brand and is likely to enter into a rivalry with LA Knight. The possibility arises when Waller recently took jabs at Knight for his loss to Roman Reigns, suggesting that he needs the 'Grayson Waller Rub.'
In response, Nick Aldis announced a matchup between the two on his official Twitter account for tonight's show.

The announcement of this singles clash seems to be signaling the beginning of what looks like a brewing feud. However, after the announcement, Waller expressed his confidence, declaring his intention to make Knight famous again, referring to their past clashes in NXT.
LA Knight reportedly has a bad attitude backstage
The recent surge in The Megastar's popularity is unparalleled in the recent history of the Stamford-based promotion. However, amid his success, WWE legend Booker T made a claim on his podcast. The Hall of Famer revealed he had heard about the Megastar having a 'bad attitude' in the company.
However, Booker added that having a bad attitude might not be an issue if the boss likes him.
"I've heard guys say, 'LA Knight, he's got a bad attitude. I don't know about this guy, he's got a bad attitude,'" Booker T said. "My thing is this, I've never really cared about getting heat with the boys as long as the boss liked everything that was going on. If the boss liked it, I was cool."
Despite these claims, no visible signs of Knight facing any repercussions or encountering issues within the company. Furthermore, the outcome of the anticipated match between Knight and Waller is likely to provide clarity on the upcoming plans for The Megastar, with tonight's show poised to reveal the direction of his next storyline.
