WWE is a wrestling promotion, every budding star desires to be a part of. But getting into Vince McMahon’s world is way easier than staying there. Several stars have admitted how the pace of their wrestling career slowed down once they stepped into the WWE. This is not only true for the stars coming to WWE from other promotions but also for the ones getting promoted to the main rosters from NXT.

And the same happened with a 40-year-old WWE superstar, who is almost lost on the main roster even though he was a top star in NXT and is getting a good response from the crowd. And when the star went to the WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry to share his condition, the WWE legend advised him not to renew his contract with the company.

In an episode of the podcast ‘Busted Open Radio’, the WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry pulled the drapes of the time when he advised the WWE superstar LA Knight not to renew his contract with the company. 

Henry revealed that he told Knight that it’s always the case, creative never holds onto a superstar no matter how hard he works. He also mentioned that he advised the NXT star to lay his conditions to the creative and if they don’t agree there is no need to renew his contract with the company.

Talking to the host, Mark Henry said, “It sucks, man, that there have been times…. that somebody gets over naturally and organically, and then they say, ‘Well, he’s already getting over, let’s do something with somebody else,’ rather than pile it on that guy. Pour the gasoline on the fire….. The squeaky wheel gets the oil. Say something. ‘Will y’all do something with me, please? I’m busting my a**, I’m getting over.’…. I don’t know if LA Knight is doing that. You gotta lobby for yourself…… And if they say no, then you know what the deal is. When your contract comes up, don’t try to renew.”

LA Knight’s first run on the main roster was not as good as fans expected. WWE scrapped him from multiple shows and even changed his gimmick. Knight is one of the most skilled professional wrestlers when it comes to the promos. Even after getting mediocre storylines, he did his best to entertain fans via his mic work and charisma.
