LA Knight Calls Out Lakers’ LeBron & Bronny James on WWE Raw
The WWE Universe was abuzz after WWE Superstar LA Knight stole the spotlight once more during the opening segment of Monday Night Raw on Netflix with a shocking challenge. Following a fierce fight between The Usos, Bronson Reed, and Bron Breaker from The Vision,
Knight grabbed the microphone and declared his desire to fight anyone named ‘Bron’ – and even mentioned NBA legend LeBron James and his son Bronny James as possible opponents.
The Usos Make It Official for WrestlePalooza
The Usos entered the ring, emphasizing their unfinished business with Reed and Breakker. Jimmy and Jey Uso announced that WWE Raw General Manager Adam Pearce had approved a significant tag team match, despite tensions already escalating.
The Usos and The Vision are set to battle at WrestlePalooza on September 20th in Indianapolis. Fans were reminded by the brothers that their cousin Roman Reigns was injured by The Vision, which added another layer of personal animosity to their already volatile rivalry. During the exchange of verbal jabs, Reed resisted the fiery Breakker to prevent an early fight.
LA Knight Crashes the Party
The LA Knight joined the chaos in the ring before the dust had settled. Knight’s brash attitude and quick wit led him to go after both members of The Vision without delay. By landing heavy shots on Reed and Breakker, he temporarily changed his direction.
Breakker and Reed overwhelmed him, causing him to lose the numbers. Despite the prospect of Knight being laid out, The Usos jumped back in with stereo Suicide Dives that energized the crowd. Fans were hyped for what’s to come as The Usos and LA Knight stood strong at the end of the melee.
LA Knight’s Explosive Promo
After the fight, Knight was given an interview backstage, where he spoke his most memorable lines of the evening. Knight was clearly energized and turned down talk of The Usos versus The Vision, concentrating on what he desired next.
“Jey Uso thinks I needed to throw Bronson Reed into him on purpose? Nah. If I wanted to take you out, I’d do it right to your damn face,” Knight declared. “What I want is one of the Brons. I told Adam Pearce — give me Bronson Reed, give me Bron Breakker. Hell, give me LeBron James, give me little Bronny James, give me Charles Bronson if he was still around. If his name is Bron, I want him in the ring!”

The fiery promo that quickly made the rounds on the internet, featuring Knight’s reference to NBA superstar LeBron James and his son Bronny, who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers, captivated fans. Both wrestling and basketball fans had a lot of fun with Knight’s charisma and outlandish challengers, even though a crossover clash between basketball royalty and the WWE is not very likely.
WrestlePalooza on the Horizon
The September 20th WrestlePalooza event in Indianapolis is being billed as one of the most action-packed nights of the year by WWE. The confirmed match between The Usos and The Vision will end months of hostility, while LA Knight’s future remains unclear.
Regardless of whether he obtains one of the ‘Brons’ he requested or is further entangled in the feud with Reed and Breakker, LA Knight is still one of the most entertaining wild cards in WWE, and that’s a certainty. LA Knight’s mix of sharp promos, crowd support, and unpredictable antics once again demonstrated why he’s a must-see performer on Raw. His words indicate that he’s not slowing down anytime soon.
Bears Fans Call for ‘Embarrassingly Weak’ $16 Million Player to Be Cut
As fans of the team have come to grow painfully accustomed, the Chicago Bears lost a game in heartbreaking fashion, falling to the Minnesota Vikings in their season opener on September 8.
After jumping out to a 17-6 lead, bit by bit, the Bears lost momentum — and Cairo Santos’ right leg was a big problem in the second half. For a fan base that has endured the double doink, an infamously huge kicker tryout and a devastating field goal miss to the rival Green Bay Packers in 2024, there are no shortage of painful memories courtesy of kickers. Santos added to that Monday night.
Up 17–6 at the top of the fourth quarter, the Bears had a chance to stretch it to 20–6. From 50 yards out, Santos promptly yanked the kick wide right. Not long after that came another crushing miscue. After cutting the deficit to 3 points with just over two minutes left, the Bears needed Santos to blast the kickoff deep enough to erase any return and keep every second possible on the clock. Instead, the ball landed in the middle of the end zone.
Bears head coach Ben Johnson took accountability for his own mistakes, but also admitted he wanted Santos to boot it out of the end zone. Considering his limited leg, though, fans immediately called for Santos’ dismissal on social media.
Bears Fans Call for Team to Cut Kicker Cairo Santos After Week 1 Loss to Vikings
Cairo Santos' inability to put the ball out of the back of the end zone there is highly problematic. Cost the Bears an extra time out at the 2 minute warning.

“Cairo Santos’ inability to put the ball out of the back of the end zone there is highly problematic,” Johnathan Wood of Windy City Gridiron noted on X. “Cost the Bears an extra time out at the 2 minute warning.”
“What the (expletive) are we doing with a kicker in 2025 who can’t kick it out of the back of the end zone,” one fan wrote on Reddit. “I love him and will always appreciate us beating the packers with his game winner. But man’s leg is TOO WEAK it’s a joke.”
“My goodness he is embarrassingly weak,” one fan replied.
“I’m not even joking when I say this. He should be cut tomorrow,” another chimed in.
“He’s the only kicker in the NFL and prob the CFL that can’t kick 50 yards,” added another.
“We gotta cut Cairo Santos. He’s simply not good enough,” another fan wrote on X.
“Worst kicker in all of football,” yet another fan wrote on X.
Santos’ Limited Range Has Been a Problem Before
GettyCairo Santos had a rough outing against the Vikings Week 1.
Santos has always been both reliable and accurate, no doubt about it. Since returning to Chicago in 2020, he’s been one of the league’s most consistent short-to-mid-range options. But from distance? That’s where things get sketchy.
His career long is 55 yards, which, in today’s NFL where 60-yarders are becoming increasingly more commonplace, is far from impressive. From 50–59 yards out, he’s 29-for-45 over his career. Last year was his best stretch—8-of-9 from that range—but even then, he went just 5-for-8 from 40–49 and missed a potential game-winner against Green Bay.
It’s not as if the Bears don’t value him. Just two years ago, they gave him a four-year, $16 million extension that runs through 2027. He’s not a disaster, but he doesn’t have the kind of big leg that could swing a ton of games in Chicago’s favor, either.
Santos was named a team captain heading into the season, and there’s no doubt he’s a well-respected veteran. But Bears fans understandably don’t want to go another season watching a kicker with a questionable leg. They’ve seen that movie too many times already.
