Just hours before Friday Night SmackDown hits the airwaves from the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, the WWE Universe is making its voice heard—again.
The hashtag #WeWantLAKnight started trending on Twitter about an hour and a half before showtime, as fans rallied around The Megastar ahead of his match against GUNTHER in the finals of the “Last Time Is Now” tournament.
The stakes couldn’t be higher: the winner of tonight’s main event will go on to face John Cena in his final match ever at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13.
Fans online are once again demanding better treatment for LA Knight, and many believe this is WWE’s chance to finally pull the trigger and give him a moment worthy of his connection with the crowd.
This isn’t a one-time outburst either. Back in June 2023, the same hashtag trended multiple times, fueled by frustrations over what many saw as WWE failing to capitalize on Knight’s surging popularity. The chants, the merch sales, the promos—Knight has had it all, yet many felt his booking never fully reflected his momentum.
With both Cena’s legacy and WWE’s future on the line, the pressure is now on. Fans are hoping LA Knight finally gets his crowning moment—especially as SmackDown prepares to lock in the opponent for Cena’s last match. Will WWE listen to the crowd, or will it be business as usual? That remains to be seen.
Who do you want to see face John Cena in his final match—GUNTHER or LA Knight? Should WWE give the people what they want? Drop your thoughts and reactions in the comments.
