There's been internal talk within WWE about having Randy Orton feud with a top name in the future. The name in question is the current United States Champion, LA Knight.

The Megastar defeated Logan Paul to win the US Title at SummerSlam 2024. Since then, he has been doing incredibly well as the champion on WWE SmackDown.

In a new Q&A on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge with Joe Lowry, WrestleVotes stated that WWE plans to have Randy Orton feud with LA Knight.

Here's what WrestleVotes said:

Female superstar says she inspired John Cena turning heel HERE

"He's wanted. I can't say that he's wanted to; I know there's an interest in doing an LA Knight vs. Randy Orton program at some point." [30:36-30:44]

Many fans would love to see Knight and Orton engage in a full-fledged feud sometime down the line. The two top WWE Superstars have competed in several multi-man matches and teamed up on several occasions.

Orton and Knight have never competed against each other in a singles capacity, though. A months-long feud between the two men over the US Title would go well with the WWE Universe.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
