It appears WWE isn't nearly as down on one "Monday Night Raw" star as fans believe. At the conclusion of the most recent episode of the red brand, LA Knight was seemingly written off TV. Knight took a Tsunami splash from Bronson Reed on the hood of a car, and he was taken away in an ambulance.

More News: Top WWE Raw Star Seemingly Written off TV
LA Knight's Lack of Big Wins
As of late, Knight has mostly been used as a stepping stone for The Vision. "The Megastar" has taken losses against members of the faction in tag team and singles action, with the most recent loss being against Logan Paul. Prior to the injury angle this past Monday, Knight even admitted that things haven't been going his way during an in-ring promo.
While a share of fans have scoffed at Knight's booking, he remains a popular star on WWE TV and continues to get big crowd reactions. Whether or not the company will actually take the next step with Knight and give him significant wins and moments next year remains to be seen.
Knight recently participated in the Last Time is Now tournament for a bid to become John Cena's final opponent. Knight made it to the finals before being submitted by Gunther, who will face Cena at "Saturday Night's Main Event" in Washington.
