Bully Ray Speculates On LA Knight Aligning With 946, Beating Roman Reigns At WWE MITB

World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns hasn't needed help from the Bloodline to retain his gold in his last few title defenses, but one Hall of Famer thinks his next challenger may need some assistance to dethrone the "Tribal Chief." On "Busted Open Radio," Bully Ray speculated on the possibility of LA Knight aligning with a dangerous new stable.

"What if the swerve is, LA Knight is with 946?" he questioned. "Not the leader of 946, but just associated with them? LA Knight, a couple weeks ago, said, 'Roman, I've never needed anybody.' Well, what if at Money in the Bank, LA Knight does bring in a couple of guys to do the dirty work. I'm trying to give a suggestion that would work if, and only if, they were trying to get the championship off of Roman for a short period of time."

Bully Ray said that Knight could have brought Penta and the fact Reigns didn't need help to defeat him into the conversation. Then, he said, Knight could have referenced Reigns needing Bloodline backup three years ago when Reigns beat Knight at Crown Jewel.

"That would get people thinking like, 'Holy s***, you're right,'" he said. "There wasn't anybody involved in the Penta match, but there were people involved in the LA Knight match. That's why LA Knight might have to fight fire with fire and take matters into his own hands.'"

He said that Knight has to live up to a lot of expectations, including how good of a match Reigns had with Penta a few weeks ago. Bully Ray said that despite how fast professional wrestling moves, that bout is still going to be fresh in the minds of fans.
