La Knight is one of the most popular stars of WWE at this moment and he is often regarded as ‘The Megastar’ of WWE. In spite of being a heel, he is extremely popular among the WWE Universe and the fans burst into cheers every time he enters the arena.
He would be entering the Money in the Bank PLE this Saturday as the favorite to win the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match. He is the favourite to win the match from the very first day of the match got booked for the event. It does not matter he wins it or not, he is definitely destined to be a big star of the promotion soon.
The Power of Recognition: WWE Legend’s Epic Vote Of Confidence For LA Knight’s Title Aspirations
But his journey to become the top star of the promotion was never that easy. He transitioned to the main roster last year and he was being treated as talent agent. He was also given a new character named Max Dupri. Knight himself admitted that there was concerns about his age previously and that was the reason why he was given this character.
But as soon as Triple H became in charge of the creative, he restored his LA Knight gimmick and now he is a big star. WWE Legend Booker T claimed that the promotion should not be late to give him the title. Speaking on his Hall of Fame Podcast recently, the former five times WCW World Heavyweight Champion said;
Booker T Wants LA Knight To Win Titles
“Quit messing around, put the title on him, you know what I am saying? That’s my thing, when you’ve got a guy like him, he’s rare, very rare,” Booker said on “The Hall Of Fame.” “He’s organic, he’s figured it out on his own. When you’ve got guys like that you’ve just got to put them in the game.”
“I watched that dude sit and get a little bit of nothing and go out there and sprinkle a little bit of salt and pepper on it,” Booker said. “It feels good, you know what I mean? You want to get behind him and the thing is, he hasn’t been the chosen one or anything like that. Another thing I say all the time, you’ve got to win by attrition.”
Knight mostly became famous for his amazing mic skill. He is just the perfect pro wrestler who has both mic skill and excellent in ring skill. Much like Booker T, most of the fans are looking forward to see him winning big titles in the near future. We do not if he would be treated as a main event star, but he can definitely be an amazing mid card wrestler.
