The booking of certain WWE stars, especially fan-favorites, has been a mystery to many watching the product for months now, and nobody’s position is as perplexing as LA Knight’s. He’s seemed poised for a push at certain points for months now, and a few fans thought he might need had a shot at becoming King of the Ring, if not for Oba Femi. Two-time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T recently spoke about Knight on his “Hall of Fame” podcast, and said he isn’t sure what is going on on with “The Megastar.”
“It’s hard for me to place a finger on what is going on on with LA Knight,” he said. “He’s been a man that they’d have pulled the trigger on. I do not book the shows, and that is one among the the explanation why I try to not, because I see a man like LA Knight, I do know I got to do something with him… We were just talking about expiration dates. Expiration date going to expire on him if we do not do something with LA Knight. But nonetheless, possibly it’ll be one among those shocking moments that folks go, ‘Man, finally!’ when he does money in. I do not know. I’m hoping for LA Knight to get his shine, to get his big push.”
The subject of Knight’s age, 43, has been the talk amongst fans for awhile when wondering why he is not receiving a push. Knight has addressed his age himself, speaking recently with Chris Van Vliet. He said it’s taken the LA Knight character five years in WWE to get off the bottom, whereas plenty of the blokes his age were already established.
