WWE Survivor Series 2024 witnessed a major title change as Shinsuke Nakamura dethroned LA Knight to become the new United States Champion. This ended the Megastar's 119-day title reign, leaving fans surprised by the outcome. The question arises: what’s next for LA Knight following his loss at Survivor Series?

One potential direction could be a storyline where The Megastar quits WWE out of frustration after losing the US title. The 42-year-old star might be portrayed as dissatisfied with how Nakamura defeated him. As part of this angle, he might decide to quit WWE and eventually take a hiatus from the promotion.

It’s important to note that if this scenario unfolds, it would purely be a storyline, and LA Knight would not actually leave WWE in real life. Furthermore, Triple H might have an alternative plan behind Knight's hiatus. After a few weeks, he could reintroduce him directly into the World Title picture.

Fans have had mixed reactions to Knight’s title loss. While some are excited about the possibility of him entering the World Title scene, others are disappointed by this unexpected defeat. The King of Strong Style returned on the November 15 episode of SmackDown, targeting Knight repeatedly before officially challenging him for the title. Now, Nakamura is your new US Champion.

Overall, it remains to be seen how things will unfold in the coming weeks and what The Megastar’s next move will be after his loss at Survivor Series WarGames 2024.


How else could WWE book LA Knight after the recent loss at the Survivor Series?

Besides the storyline angle of Knight quitting, the Stamford-based promotion could book him in a major way following his loss by moving him to RAW next year. Starting January 6, 2025, the red brand will move to Netflix, and many SmackDown stars are expected to join RAW.

With LA Knight no longer the United States Champion, this presents an opportunity for WWE to move him to RAW for its Netflix debut. Additionally, Triple H could extend Knight’s feud with Shinsuke Nakamura by building towards a rematch between the two.

This rivalry could culminate at the Royal Rumble 2025 Premium Live Event before the two eventually part ways when the company officially kicks off the Road to WrestleMania 41.

With these potential directions and options, it will be interesting to see how Triple H decides to book LA Knight now that he is no longer the US Champion.
