LA Knight could be getting a big change in his
WWE
career. Reports say that WWE is thinking about moving him from SmackDown to RAW. Many people backstage believe he could do well on RAW, especially now that WWE shows are streaming on Netflix.
This move could help him become an even bigger star.
Knight is one of the most popular superstars in WWE right now. He has become a fan favorite without needing a title to prove it. On SmackDown, he has been in big storylines and even competed in three Money in the Bank matches. But now, there is news that his time on the blue brand might be ending.
Strong backstage support for LA Knight's brand switch
According to WrestleVotes, several people inside WWE are pushing for
LA Knight
to move to RAW.
They believe he would bring something new and exciting to Monday nights. RAW is known for its long storylines and character development, which could be great for someone like Knight.
'According to those within the company, more than a handful of people are advocating for LA Knight to be moved to the #WWERAW brand in the near future as his presence on Netflix could be viewed as something of a refreshing change.'
Knight has not wrestled much on RAW in the past.
He has only had two matches on the show, one in March 2023 against Cody Rhodes and one in February 2024 against Ivar. But recently, he has been making surprise appearances on RAW, and that has led many to believe that a full-time move could be near.
'LA Knight has been signed with the company since February of 2021 and has two Raw matches under his belt. He's been appearing on Raw over the last two weeks, very, very briefly. However, there are more than a handful of people like we just said that want to see him on Monday Night Raw each and every week.'
His feuds are already on both shows
Knight's recent storylines have involved superstars from both RAW and SmackDown. After
Seth Rollins
beat him in the Money in the Bank match, Rollins attacked Knight on SmackDown.

Then, Knight got his revenge on RAW by costing
Bron Breakker
a match. Later, Knight was attacked again during his own match. This back-and-forth has made fans excited and shows that he fits in well on both brands.
Moving him to RAW would open up fresh rivalries and give him more screen time. It would also help RAW feel new and excited if someone as popular as LA Knight showed up every week.

Erin Andrews jokes about wardrobe malfunction and spray tan disaster live on stage

Erin Andrews grabbed attention with an unexpected on-stage comment about needing a towel for her dress (Getty Images) Erin Andrews found herself at the center of an unexpected wardrobe mishap during a live podcast taping in Cannes, turning heads with a bizarre and hilarious on-stage comment. As she joked about needing a towel 'to shove up' her dress and referenced a spray tan gone wrong, fans were left both laughing and cringing at the unexpected fashion blunder. Erin Andrews stirs conversation with humor and hygiene hot takes Sportscaster Erin Andrews had fans laughing and cringing at the same time after a hilarious wardrobe comment during a live podcast recording with co-host Charissa Thompson at SPORT BEACH 2025 in Cannes. The two FOX NFL personalities, known for their unfiltered banter on the Calm Down Podcast, were setting the stage when Erin asked something that caught everyone off guard: 'Hey, do you have a towel back there?' she said to the crew. Moments later, she clarified — or rather, shocked — by adding, 'I'm gonna shove it up my dress.' Charissa's immediate reaction summed it up for the audience: 'Woahhh.' Erin quickly tried to play it off: 'Just kidding.' But the moment was already out there — and it perfectly captured the unscripted, raw charm the podcast is known for. Even as the heat and humidity of Cannes caused spray tan mishaps, Erin powered through with her signature self-deprecating humor, joking, 'It's starting in the tummy, don't worry. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo It'll come out orange from the spray tan…Awkward spray tan in the UK.' Erin and Charissa's 'foot-in-mouth' moment sparks relatable vacation banter Adding another layer to the comedy, Erin admitted they were partly to blame for the situation — having ignored emails from the event organizers. 'We literally cannot complain about one thing because...I sent you emails. I sent you information, and you never got back to me about it,' she said, mimicking what the planners might say. Charissa chimed in with a clever solution: 'We need to have a code word. So every time we don't like something we just say it to each other. ' While the wardrobe moment was lighthearted, Erin got a bit more serious when addressing her ultimate fashion pet peeve — Gen Z's obsession with bathroom selfies. In another podcast clip, she didn't hold back: 'The selfies in the bathroom of your super cute outfit are for the birds. I'm not going to call you thirsty, but so desperado to take a picture of your outfit.'

Woman on the verge: How Sahiba Bali is working her way to the top

When asked where home is, Sahiba Bali finds it hard to answer. Bali, 30, is part-Kashmiri, part-Punjabi, but was born in Kolkata. She spent her early years in Indonesia (the Bali jokes write themselves), but returned to Delhi to complete school and attend Delhi University. Then, she flew to the UK to complete her Masters in marketing, and did an extra business course at Oxford, just because she could. Then, she moved to Mumbai. But the reason someone would ask her that in the first place is because Bali is everywhere. She started off as a brand manager for Zomato, was an associate director at Unacademy, and found time to be a lifestyle content creator. She ended up hosting S4 of Shark Tank India, is now a sports broadcaster and an anchor at Disney Star, and has been in three movies and several web series. She played Kashmiri student Ambreen in Laila Majnu (2018), an Inter-Services agent Abida in the Netflix series Bard of Blood (2019), and an exacting journalist in Amar Singh Chamkila (2024). For this season's IPL, Punjab Kings brought her on as their marketing and digital curator, making those viral fun Reels with cricketers. While you catch your breath, she's now in a music video too: Haqeeqat, sung and composed by Akhil Sachdeva. None of this, she says, was part of the plan. Early start As the only child of a banker and a production-house director, Bali recalls watching both parents hard at work, every day. She ended up excelling in her studies simply because she didn't know any other way. But being an only child meant more than academic excellence. 'My parents were working through the day, so I would be left to my own devices,' Bali recalls. 'I had only myself to entertain and motivate.' Cue the extracurriculars: Bharatanatyam, keyboard, jazz, debating, theatre. 'I was doing so much, and a lot of it was competitive. It just inculcated this behaviour of trying to excel in different things. That stayed with me.' It also helped chart a multi-pronged path to the spotlight. Acting was never meant to be more than a side hustle, Bali says. But perhaps the roulette of auditions and rejections didn't hit as hard. 'During the weeks when I wasn't acting, instead of sulking about the lack of work and feeling bad about rejection, I took a marketing job on the side.' Bali originally auditioned for Triptii Dimri's role in Laila Majnu, but got the part of her sister instead. She auditioned for Kiara Advani's role in Kabir Singh, as well as Anushka Sharma's role in Sultan, opposite Salman Khan. She recalls a Netflix show that fell through. 'I had this great role — a woman from Delhi who lives in Gurgaon, a complete girl-next-door. But unfortunately, after we signed the contract and everything, they went ahead with someone else because they wanted to package it differently.' She just kept auditioning until the tide began to turn. Audiences noticed her small part in Laila Majnu. She began to be recognised for the videos she'd do with Zomato; her fresh vibe resonating with viewers on YouTube and Instagram. People began watching her vlogs (each video now has more than 20 lakh views). Speak easy Bali is often cast as Kashmiri. 'Maybe I look and talk the part.' But she's eager to break that stereotype. 'I want a typical Yash Raj filmi, over-the-top romantic drama,' she says, and quickly adds that she'd also do 'a very natural, Piku-type role'. But she's aware that her big break is yet to come. Until then, she's not shying away from being herself in public. Last year, Bali was invited to an Indian billionaire's son's wedding, a much-spotlighted event that was dubbed The Shaadi Of The Century. She skipped it, telling interviewers that she didn't want to attend it just for the attention. In April, she was one of the few people in entertainment to speak up against the erasure of Mughal history from grade 7 NCERT textbooks. As a star-in-the-making, she knows the cost of speaking her mind. But she knows how fickle fandom is too. 'It's the small things,' she says. 'I don't talk about something, people start forming opinions about me. If I do say something about an issue, then there are questions.' Of course, like all young people, she yearns for simpler times. 'There are days where I really wish we had gone back to analogue life and didn't have smartphones,' she admits. The constant scrutiny means 'whenever I'm saying anything, I have to think twice'. But years of putting in the effort, competing and coming out shining are helping her battle online negativity and public opinion. 'I tell myself that this is for two hours, that people are going to forget, that there are bigger problems in the world, that nobody cares about you in the grand scheme of things,' she says. 'I don't worry about what I can't change.' We'll be seeing more of her on screen. Let's hope she keeps that fighting spirit intact. From HT Brunch, June 21, 2025 Follow us on
