One name has been creating ripples of excitement and intrigue. LA Knight, the former Impact World Champion, has caught the attention of fans and industry insiders alike with his remarkable merchandise sales and recent high-profile victories. Whispers of a potential “mega-push” grow louder. 

Everyone is wondering if LA Knight is ready to rise to WWE stardom. It’s potentially even eclipsing the legacies of iconic figures like Roman Reigns and John Cena. In this article, we delve into the story behind LA Knight’s meteoric rise. What the future may hold for this emerging WWE sensation?

Is LA Knight set for WWE stardom beyond Reigns and Cena?

WWE’s online shopping scene is abuzz with the rising star, former Impact World Champion LA Knight. Wrestlenomics estimates reveal an impressive feat, with Knight’s merchandise consistently ranking in the daily top 10 on WWE’s online shop. Notably, his black “YEAH” shirt maintained its presence in the top 10 for a remarkable 30 days. He has 71 items listed on the site.

It surpassed the sales of established names like John Cena, Cody Rhodes, and WWE Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. It’s worth noting that the study focused solely on the traffic generated by Knight and his “YEAH” shirt, without delving into specific sales volumes.

Recent reports have hinted at a potential “mega-push” for LA Knight, a notion that gained momentum when he secured a victory over John Cena at WWE Payback. Additionally, Knight will team up with the multi-time world champion in a tag team match against Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso at WWE Fastlane this Saturday. 

Despite a recent bout with COVID-19, Knight’s swift recovery allowed him to seize this significant opportunity. Management’s high regard for Knight is evident not only through his interactions with Cena and his upcoming match but also his triumph in the SummerSlam Battle Royal, solidifying his position as the face of WWE’s lucrative partnership with Slim Jim.

After a brief absence due to COVID, LA Knight marked his triumphant return to “WWE SmackDown” with a dramatic twist. During Friday’s episode, John Cena found himself on the receiving end of another attack at the hands of The Bloodline’s Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa. He had earlier found himself without a tag team partner for Fastlane on October 7. However, despite the odds, Cena’s unwavering determination prevailed as he vowed to compete regardless of the situation.

Nevertheless, Uso and Sikoa had proceeded to launch an attack on Cena. Just as they were about to deliver a devastating move, LA Knight stormed to the rescue, taking on The Bloodline. Knight’s intervention paved the way for Cena’s return to the ring, and together, they eliminated their adversaries.

In a spontaneous turn of events, Knight reached for the contract Cena had left in the ring. He signed it and officially joined forces with Cena to face Sikoa and Uso. Fastlane is also in less than two weeks. The stage is now set for an electrifying showdown.
