The Megastar was a victim of Triple H’s poor booking last year. While he aims to get back in the World Title picture following his return, he might still be removed from the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match in favour of former multi-time World Champion Brock Lesnar.

The Beast Incarnate made his return on the latest episode of Monday Night RAW, accompanied by Paul Heyman. He hasn’t been seen on television since the Royal Rumble. Currently, Lesnar is not on the card for the upcoming Elimination Chamber PLE, and he might be considering changing that in a massive twist.

With this in mind, the creative team could decide to pull the trigger by using one of its old tactics. On the day of Elimination Chamber, Brock Lesnar could assault LA Knight backstage before the match. This attack could prevent The Megastar from competing, allowing Lesnar to take his place in the match.

Although Lesnar has already issued an open challenge for WrestleMania 42, his unexpected participation in the upcoming PLE would be one of the memorable moments of the night. Interestingly, it could bring more eyeballs to the show.

That said, it should be noted that the above angle is speculative for now. Fans will have to wait until the Elimination Chamber PLE to see if it could eventually come to fruition.

WWE could book LA Knight to win a World Title at SummerSlam 2026

If the above scenario eventually comes into play, the creative team could finally consider crowning LA Knight as a World Champion later this year.

With this in mind, the Stamford-based promotion could give The Megastar his moment at a big-5 PLE like SummerSlam. Knight would then get his deserved spot at the top of the mountain, holding his first World Championship.

However, this angle too is speculative for now, and nothing has been confirmed.
