WWE Payback 2023 recently took place at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, but it no longer interests fans. WWE fans are focused on the upcoming PPV event, WWE Fastlane 2023. Not only that, they also have a wish for a match at the event, and it includes LA Knight and John Cena.
On the very recent episode of Friday Night SmackDown, WWE Superstar LA Knight appeared and was having an interaction with the crowd. However, he was soon interrupted by Grayson Waller. The latter then went on to introduce his partner, Austin Theory.

After a brief exchange of words between the three WWE Superstars, Austin Theory and LA Knight faced each other, in which Knight defeated Theory. Later, it was announced that next week, John Cena would appear on the ‘Grayson Waller Effect’.
With that, WWE fans want to see a match take place at the upcoming pay-per-view event, WWE Fastlane. They want John Cena to team up with LA Knight to face Grayson Waller and Austin Theory in a tag team match.

Fans apparently became match-makers with the idea of the match. Several fans have agreed to witness the match and many have even predicted that it is inevitable.
It is to be noted that Cena had previously interacted with Theory in a losing effort as well as with Waller, where the latter received an Attitude Adjustment from the WWE legend. On the other hand, Cena was recently seen in a viral moment with Knight. Keeping all these in mind, it can be understood why fans want to witness such a matchup. However, only time will tell if they will get to enjoy it or not.
John Cena and LA Knight shook hands during WWE Payback
The more reason why WWE Universe wants to witness John Cena teaming up with LA Knight is because of a magical moment that the two WWE Superstars presented to the world recently.
At the last PLE event, Knight faced The Miz. However, the interesting point was that Cena was the special guest referee for the match. After a long battle between the two, LA Knight finally nailed the Blunt Force Trauma on his opponent for the win.
Right after the match, Knight and Cena got face-to-face and Cena extended his hand for Knight to shake and stated that it was a sign of respect. With that, the two fan-loving Superstars shook hands to a huge pop from the crowd.
This was an unexpected and extraordinary moment. Many referred to the moment as ‘Passing The Torch’. However, now it is to be seen what lies ahead for the two superstars moving ahead. It is needless to mention that fans will wait with high anticipation to see if their two favorite superstars indeed decide to join forces in the future to take down their common rivals.
