WWE Officials Pushing For Career-Changing LA Knight Decision
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A new report suggests that a major brand switch could be on the horizon for LA Knight. There is reportedly a significant backstage push to move the popular superstar from SmackDown to Monday Night Raw. This comes after a period of booking that has left some fans disappointed. A move to Raw could signal a fresh start for "The Megastar." Backstage Push And Netflix Influence On LA Knight According to a report from WrestleVotes, multiple individuals within WWE are advocating for LA Knight to be moved to the Raw brand. The move is seen as a way to present a refreshing change for the character. The report also suggested that WWE's streaming partner, Netflix, has direct input on programming. It is believed that the platform hopes a star with Knight's massive popularity can "move the needle" for Raw's global audience. Testing The Waters On Raw For LA Knight WWE may already be "testing the waters" for this brand switch. Knight has appeared on the last two episodes of Raw despite officially being a SmackDown superstar.

He helped Sami Zayn defeat Bron Breakker last week and assisted Jey Uso this week by taking out Bronson Reed during another King of the Ring match. More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation LA Knight Sends A Message To Seth Rollins Following his latest appearance on Raw, LA Knight has made his intentions clear on social media. He posted a video taunting the members of Rollins' group that he has already neutralized. "Well, I guess if I ain't going to the King of the Ring then neither are either of the Brons. We got Bron squared over there, but I tell you what we took down what, three last week? I got this one, I got that one and we got one left [shows middle finger] yeah!" The combination of the backstage report and his very visible new feud strongly indicates that a permanent move to Raw is imminent. This would also give Knight a new career look and a fresh coat of paint for him after spending his entire main roster career on SmackDown. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.

Pope Leo XIV joins ‘White Sox' chant in spirited Vatican scene
Pope Leo XIV's passion for the White Sox was on display once again at Vatican City. When taking in his general audience on Wednesday at St. Peter's Square, the American-born pontiff was greeted with cheers from supporters, some of whom broke into a 'White Sox' chant that didn't go unnoticed by the infamous Chicago sports fan. As the Popemobile approached the White Sox admirers, Pope Leo XIV — who hails from the Windy City — could be seen mouthing, 'White Sox,' as captured in a video shared by TikTok user Advertisement 4 Pope Leo XIV joined a White Sox chant in Vatican City. @clashroyal3/TikTok This show of support comes days after Pope Leo XIV rocked a White Sox cap while greeting other visitors, including a bride and groom. Advertisement Pope Leo XIV's adoration for the White Sox sparked worldwide headlines last month when he was elected the first American pope. He succeeded Pope Francis, who passed away in April at the age of 88 after succumbing to a lengthy battle with double pneumonia. As speculation mounted as to whether Pope Leo XIV cheered for the White Sox or the Cubs, his brother cleared the air. 4 Pole Leo XIV sported a White Sox cap in St. Peter's Square in June 2025.

I don't know, maybe that clued in there and our dad was a Cardinals fan, so I don't know where all that came from. 'And all the aunts, our mom's family was from the north side, so that's why they were Cubs fans.' Shortly after he was selected head of the Catholic Church, Pope Leo XIV — born Robert Prevost — was honored with a graphic installation at the White Sox's home Rate Field stadium. 4 The White Sox honored Pope Leo XIV with a graphic installation at Rate Field.

‘America's Sweethearts' Is a Compelling Sports Series
Season 2 of the documentary series 'America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders,' on Netflix, is a bit less rah-rah than Season 1 — still full of tears, high kicks and sisterhood but also more attuned to the pain of it all, the sorrow and struggle of cobbling together one's self-worth. One of this season's leads is Jada, a five-year veteran of the team and among its best dancers and most thoughtful leaders. She lays out the season's theme at the beginning: 'Everyone's going to say, 'Well, they're just cheerleaders,'' she says. 'Well, we're really good cheerleaders.' Her grin begins to spread. 'Show us that you appreciate us,' she adds. Are the members of the team appreciated? Not with money, they're not, and part of this season's most invigorating arc is the cheerleaders' quest for better pay. Season 1 brought additional fame and adulation to the team, and it also drew attention to the exploitation of the enterprise. As Kylie, another team veteran, explains: 'The world was kind of telling us, 'Girls, fight for more.' And we're like, 'OK!'' As the women practice the grueling signature routine, we hear the opening strains of the AC/DC song 'Thunderstruck,' over and over. But the true refrain of the season is the fretting about being in one's own head. It's the catchall term for all distress and self-recrimination, the explanation for any lack of confidence or lapse in perfection. Yes, performers can overthink things, especially in prolonged auditions, and rumination and anxiety are enemies to the wide smiles and sexy winks the Dallas cheerleaders' routines require. The job is to make it look easy. But there's an interesting tension. Your head is where the good ideas are, too — ideas like: 'Hey, a lot of people are making a lot of money off my work; why doesn't any of that go to me?' Or: 'Even people who I believe have my best interests at heart can disappoint and hurt me.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
