LA Knight‘s WWE feud buildup has intensified after a surprising twist during this week’s RAW, when Jey Uso betrayed him following a rescue from The Vision‘s attack. This unexpected move has sparked speculation about a significant rivalry between the two performers in the near future.
The Unfolding Conflict Between LA Knight and Jey Uso
LA Knight has been steadily regaining momentum in WWE over recent weeks, positioning himself for a major storyline. During RAW, he intervened to protect the Usos from The Vision’s assault. However, fans were stunned when Jey Uso turned against Knight shortly after the rescue. This act implies Jey Uso may be heading toward a heel turn, setting the stage for a bitter conflict.
Veteran journalist Bill Apter discussed the development on The Wrestling Time Machine with host Mac Davis, saying,
“Did you see how hot Jey Uso and LA Knight were at each other? They are both babyfaces, and they both went nose to nose. This could be a h*ll of a feud. But who are the fans gonna vote for, or root for? Probably Jey Uso, maybe LA Knight’s turning heel. It’s very confusing but a compelling storyline because it’s making us think about what they’re gonna do.”

Concerns Raised Over the Direction of the Feud
Not everyone agrees with the creative choices involving Jey Uso’s sudden betrayal of LA Knight. WWE veteran Vince Russo criticized the storyline on Legion of RAW, suggesting the plot lacks clear logic. Russo highlighted that Knight clearly saved both Jey and Jimmy Uso during the attack, only to be speared by Jey immediately after.
Russo remarked,
“LA Knight, actually, clearly, without a shadow of a doubt, saves Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso. No questions about it, he saves them. He even says to Jey, ‘Are we even now?’ And Jey Uso then Spears LA Knight for no reason. If you want to start an angle between these two guys because you’ve got nothing else, like let’s face it, bro.”
