Eric Bischoff expressed that LA Knight, a popular WWE star, is currently underutilized in an episode of "83 Weeks." Bischoff noted that Knight’s strong fan reaction and social media presence are clear indicators of his potential. He suggested that WWE seems to see him as an upper mid-card talent, failing to capitalize on his appeal. Knight's situation may change, as he is reportedly being positioned for a feud with Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship on "WWE Raw" following SummerSlam. This would mark Knight's first significant title opportunity since August 2025.
