With LA Knight set to take on Seth Rollins at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, he may be wise to recruit some backup.
While Seth Rollins runs with his posse including Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed and Paul Heyman, LA Knight remains a lone wolf for the most part, but that could definitely change.
Here are six WWE stars that could join a brand new LA Knight led faction.
6. R-Truth
If LA Knight was assembling a powerful force of dudes with attitudes, he would definitely be wise to think about R-Truth/Ron Killings.
Having returned to WWE after an outcry of fan support, Truth has gone on to be targeted by Aleister Black which in turn incensed Damian Priest.
While their storyline continues to play out, there would be no reason why it couldn’t be wrapped into the LA Knight faction with Aleister Black being another foe for the faction’s list.
Truth would be a great addition to provide backup for LA Knight and with fans adoring both.

5. Damian Priest
While Damian Priest has been most recently teasing a feud with Aleister Black, he could also very easily join forces with LA Knight.
With both stars representing badass in-betweeners, it would be a great way to give Priest and Knight some ongoing and substantive storylines beyond just chasing singles gold.
Able to be an intriguing duo in their own right – leaving fans to wonder if they can co-exist – seeing how long the faction might last would be part of the fun.
As Priest still looks to get back into contention for top titles in WWE, he may be well-suited to join forces with LA Knight.

4. Ricky Saints
One deadly combination of charisma and kavorka could be the union of LA Knight and Ricky Saints.
While he remains engaged in a feud with ‘All Ego’ Ethan Page in NXT, it seems like only a matter of time before Saints takes his talents to the main roster.
A duo that could rival any other pair with their quickness on the mic, it would be incredible to see Saints and Knightin action together.
While they could also eventually have a messy break-up and feud amongst themselves, it would be so sweet while it lasted.

3. Fraxiom
After surviving continued rumors of their impending demise, it turns out that Fraxiom really was fine.
Nathan Frazer and Axiom have remained a formidable tag team since being called up to the main roster on SmackDown but also have a steep hill to climb in regards to veteran talent currently populating the blue brand’s tag team division.
LA Knight needs a tag team that can have his back and Fraxiom could definitely fit the bill.
An intriguing touch would be the possibility of Nathan Frazer turning on both LA Knight and Axiom in a dramatic betrayal to join Seth Rollins. Since it has been acknowledged on TV that Rollins has had a hand in training Frazer, it would be really fun to see them end up together on screen.

2. Drew McIntyre (& Tonga Loa)
This one might be unlikely to happen in WWE, but it is worth mentioning that it has already happened in the past!
Named The Rising, the TNA Wrestling faction of Eli Drake (LA Knight), Drew Galloway (Drew McIntyre), and Micah (Tonga Loa) were united for several months in 2015.
While they exclusively as a group feuded with The Beatdown Clan (Samoa Joe, Kenny King, Low Ki & MVP), the group would fall apart when Drake turned on Galloway.
It seems that Tonga Loa is already accounted for in Solo Sikoa’s latest version of the Bloodline, but a pairing of LA Knight and Drew McIntyre could be perfect.

1. Austin Theory
While it continues to seem like there could be something big on the horizon for Austin Theory, it appears his break-up with Grayson Waller continues to be dragged out.
However, with Theory continuing to be brought up by some of the biggest names in the industry – including Paul Heyman and Randy Orton – as having immense untapped potential, it would seem as though he could join any faction and flourish.
If LA Knight was able to offer a soft landing place for Theory after the inevitable A-Town Down Under break-up, he could certainly gain Theory’s loyalty.
With LA Knight having the potential to help Theory finally pivot towards being taken more seriously by his opponents, perhaps linking up with Knight could help reboot Theory’s connection with the fans.
