When looking at the WWE roster, Monday Night Raw is noticeably missing two of its top main event stars: LA Knight and Seth Rollins.
Knight has been off TV for around a month following his loss to Roman Reigns, while Rollins has been gone for over three months; his last appearance also being a loss to Reigns at SummerSlam 2026.
WWE has reportedly been waiting for a “maximum impact” scenario to bring Rollins back to TV, while there has been no update on what their plans for LA Knight are.
Interestingly Rollins may have potentially given WWE something they could work with, as he recently threw some shade LA Knight’s direction during he and his wife Becky Lynch’s appearance on George Kittle’s The Kittle Things show.
Kittle – who is known to be a big wrestling fan – gave Rollins NFL players and the WWE star would have to determine whether they’re a babyface or a heel.
When it came to Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, Rollins said he was a babyface as he’s still on the come up, and hadn’t yet reached the summit of the football world.
This prompted Kittle to ask whether that makes Allen the LA Knight of NFL – as Knight has also famously not reached the top of WWE. Rollins laughed and initially said he better “bite his tongue” but quickly changed his mind and saying the following:
“I was going to say one of them is talented.”
Who’s a heel and who’s a baby face in the NFL???

This led to Rollins and Knight to trend on social media as a result of the comments, and one has to think if it gets a bit more traction, it may catch the attention of Knight and potentially also WWE.
Should WWE book Seth Rollins vs. LA Knight?
Seth Rollins and LA Knight already have pre-established history, with “The Megastar” one of Seth’s primary rivals during his heel run as the leader of The Vision in 2025. They also shared a tense exchange or two after Rollins’ babyface turn the following year.
So, WWE fans won’t exactly be dying to see Rollins and Knight pair up again given the recency in which they’ve feuded, but it would be interesting if changes are made to Knight’s character.
Using Rollins’ comments as motivation, as well as his loss to Roman Reigns at Money in the Bank AND Solo Sikoa going back on his word and rejoining The Bloodline, Knight could return with a new edge and take out all of his frustration on Rollins.
Whether that means one of them turns heel I’m not sure, but WWE can’t let Knight just slip back into the mid-card upon his return, he needs to show some fight and take a more aggressive approach to his mission of becoming a world champion.
