A WWE Hall of Famer has pitched a big character change for LA Knight following the Last Time Is Now tournament.<\/p>\n
Knight made it to the tournament final with wins against Zack Ryder, The Miz and Jey Uso<\/a> before losing out to eventual winner GUNTHER.<\/p>\n GUNTHER\u2019s win came when Knight tapped out to a Cravat \u2013 a rare instance of a popular babyface tapping out.<\/p>\n WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray\/Bubba Ray Dudley has voiced his concern for Knight after this loss and the fact a babyface gave up like he did.<\/p>\n On Busted Open<\/a>, Bully said:<\/p>\n \u201cDo you have any hope for LA Knight at this point? What does he do? Where does that character go?<\/p>\n \u201cAs a fan, with the ups and downs of LA Knight, why should you be on board with him? I\u2019m gonna answer the question for you. I don\u2019t think you should be.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s time for a different side of LA Knight. What if LA Knight was the guy underneath the hood and climbed the cage and kicked CM Punk in the face.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m trying to find something for this guy. You just tapped. Tough babyface. One half Steve Austin, one half The Rock, and you tapped.<\/p>\n \u201cYou ever seen Rock tap? Maybe he did once when he was a heel, maybe he tapped to like Benoit or Angle or something. Maybe. But he did it as a heel. As a babyface, did you ever see The Rock tap?<\/p>\n \u201cYou ever see Stone Cold, babyface, tap? The only reason I\u2019m using these two guys is because that\u2019s who LA Knight is a mixture of. And he tapped. The character tapped.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat\u2019s next? Something completely in a different direction. You need to do something, and you need to something quick, otherwise he\u2019s gonna kinda fade into midcard obscurity.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen a wrestler, performer, has to rely on a tagline in the middle of a match \u2013 a huge match, a championship-esque level match \u2013 if you\u2019ve gotta rely on that tagline, there\u2019s something wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n If you use this transcription or any portion of it, please credit WrestleTalk.com and link to this page.<\/p>\n To make sure you stay up to date with all the biggest wrestling and WrestleTalk news, follow us on Threads by clicking this link<\/a>!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/wrestling-masterclass-9-stars-webp-768x127.webp.webp\")
