LA Knight’s Major Accomplishments Justify WWE Pushing the 40-Year-Old as the Biggest Babyface in the Company

LA Knight started feuding with The Bloodline right before WWE Fastlane. At SmackDown season premiere, his feud with the heel faction renewed when Roman Reigns came face-to-face with him. Getting the opportunity to share the ring with Reigns is a big deal in itself. So, we cannot deny that Knight is currently one of the hottest stars on SmackDown.

Seeing the superstar progress in the promotion at such a quick rate makes fans develop some questions. So, we shall take a look at a few accomplishments that may be the factors contributing to the push that LA Knight is currently enjoying.

Why is LA Knight getting a push from WWE?

LA Knight has had a complicated history with the Stamford-based company. However, after he joined NXT in 2021, he didn’t look back. Knight got over with the crowd and it helped the promotion to recognize his talent and value as an asset.

His achievements since joining the main roster have been outstanding and show how well WWE has pushed him. First and foremost, something that a proud LA Knight fan should be aware of is his record since July 28, 2023. Ever since this date, Knight set a win-loss record record of 18-1 for himself. Moreover, there have been no wrestlers to ‘cleanly’ or ‘fairly’ pin him after the 2nd of July this year. The last one to do so was Rey Mysterio.

The 40-year-old is also the top merch seller in WWE for the past three months. This is because his products at the WWE Store have increased from 15 to 58 in the past 11 weeks. Apart from this, not only has he become a popular name in mainstream pop culture, but Knight’s theme song, ‘Welcome to LA’ is one of the most played WWE themes across all music platforms.

He is currently involved in a feud with The Tribal Chief, and given the latter’s resilience against his challengers, Knight is facing significant odds.

However, given WWE’s urge to push him, a Hall of Famer recently confessed why he thinks the blue brand superstar might end up winning the title from Reigns.

WWE Legend is on LA Knight’s team

Booker T recently talked about the decorated superstar on his Hall of Fame Podcast. During a conversation, he confessed that it was about time that WWE pushed Knight toward a title. Booker T believes that one of the more important aspects of the wrestling business is to know when to capitalize on an opportunity.

According to the WWE legend, Knight is currently a ‘hot’ star and if WWE is thinking with its head in the game, it would book the challenger to win the Universal Championship.
