Is WWE Burying LA Knight By Denying Him World Title Run

LA Knight hasn’t received the push he deserves, according to the WWE Universe.

Wrestling fans across the world have been unhappy about LA Knight not winning the big matches. He recently lost the Money In The Bank Ladder Match and the Fatal Fourway Match in the King Of The Ring Tournament.

On Notsam Wrestling, Sam Roberts addressed WWE’s treatment of the former United States Championship. He explained why he thinks that even though the 42-year-old WWE Superstar doesn’t hold a World Title, he is still utilized well.

“LA Knight sets things up so beautifully because the narrative online, of course, is that a lot of fans feel that LA Knight is not getting the proper shake. There is a thing I think with a lot of us that we feel like if we’re enthusiastic about a wrestler, they must be the World Champion. Like we were talking about this with Karrion Kross a couple of weeks ago. I am a big fan of Karrion Kross. I want the world for him. I think he should be on TV every week and be a part of major storylines. But the idea of, ‘hey, we like Karrion Kross, let’s give him the Money In The Bank briefcase and make him World Champion.’ R-Truth comes back, we’re all excited, ‘hey, let’s make R-Truth the World Champion.’ LA Knight comes, ‘hey, if you don’t give LA Knight the World Championship, then you’re burying him.’ Not everyone needs to have the World Championship to be in a great position, and that’s the point with LA Knight.

Does LA Knight Have Backstage Heat?

The Megastar is one of the most popular WWE Superstars today. But many have speculated that he has backstage heat in the company, and that may be the reason behind his not getting elevated to the top.

Disco Inferno spoke about the situation. He stated that some agents may be frustrated with Knight. The 42-year-old Superstar sticks to indie-style wrestling too often. He has top guy potential, but doesn’t always act like it. Still, he’s very popular with the crowd.
