Overview
- At the Royal Rumble this year, LA Knight and Cody Rhodes eliminated Brock Lesnar from the match and Knight lasted roughly 14 minutes, removing Austin Theory and Bronson Reed before his own exit.
- Knight told Chris Van Vliet he will tell the full story someday and that the sequence “went differently than they were supposed to,” but he declined to reveal details because the moment still feels fresh to him.
- Fans and reporters noted the elimination looked out of place because Lesnar was removed shortly after entering and during Jey Uso’s extended entrance, which reduced the segment’s usual dramatic impact.
- Lesnar’s broader on‑screen arc has moved quickly since then: he lost to Oba Femi at WrestleMania and appeared to retire by leaving gloves and boots in the ring, returned on Raw in May, and won a rematch against Femi in Italy.
- Knight’s public tease comes as he is being pushed into the King of the Ring bracket with a scheduled Fatal 4‑Way, and his comment raises the prospect that backstage booking shifts could affect how WWE handles big‑name segments and future Lesnar storylines.
