Bully Ray Has ‘Hope’ For LA Knight Following Raw: ‘Good Job, Babyface’

Bully Ray believes LA Knight is in a good spot following his work on Monday night’s episode of Raw, noting that Knight played the babyface role well. Knight found himself on the wrong end of a beatdown by The Vision to close the show after he made the save for Rey Mysterio earlier in the night.

It was reported on Tuesday that Knight is being positioned as one of WWE’s top babyfaces for 2026, and Bully echoed that sentiment on Busted Open Radio. You can see highlights below, per Wrestling Inc:

On Knight’s Performance On Raw:

“We have hope for LA Knight. How the hell can we have hope for LA Knight after he just tapped to Gunther? It’s because everything that was presented last night worked. Pencil to paper, paper to producer, producer to talent.

“And the majority of the props from last night go to LA Knight, because at the end of the day, he had to totally forget about the tapping to Gunther, the bad night that he had, that he acknowledged — and I love that he acknowledged his bad night — ‘Things haven’t been going so great for me lately.’ Good job, babyface. You’re just being honest.”

On Being Optimistic About Knight’s Spot Right Now:

“It’s because of the way it started, and the way it ended. LA Knight made the save for one of the most beloved talents in the history of the WWE, Rey Mysterio. He picks up the microphone. He cuts a good promo. He says, I want you tonight. How dare you put your hands on a legend like Rey Mysterio? Babyface 101. Rah, rah, rah. Let’s fight.

“And then the beat down, the beat down [from The Vision], the beat down, they’re carrying him out, the putting him through the table in the back. I felt sympathy for LA Knight.”
