Currently, there are very few superstars on the WWE roster who receive louder pops than LA Knight during a live show on any given day. Knight’s tremendous popularity stems from his splendid promos and extraordinary in-ring works since his main roster alliance. But despite fans backing him up, and showing continuous support and love to the 40 years old, WWE didn’t make him stand out in any event so far.

Also, his SummerSlam booking is still up in the air. That said, these couldn’t mar the surging popularity of the NXT talent even a bit. WWE’s latest data on the merchandise T-shirt sales back this up.

Whether this milestone of Knight prompts WWE officials to elevate him to a higher status in terms of booking or not is still a mystery. But, it seems like at least something exciting is being cooked for Knight for the upcoming SummerSlam.
WWE seemingly pitches massive plan for LA Knight post-SummerSlam
Knight, reached the pinnacle of fame in a very short span of time. This earned him the status of the most over superstar of the mix. However, his journey to the top wasn’t hustle-free. His main roster career didn’t see a smooth start, as he started off as a manager and not a talent. However, after getting in the shoes of Max Dupri, Knight reverted back to his job but was far from the spotlight as a lower mid-card talent. Eventually, fans started to notice his charisma and the amount of effort he put into improving his craft, and the situation took a U-turn for the better.
But still, he is yet to get a massive push from WWE despite getting over with the fans lately. However, putting a stop to the prolonged vexation of the fans, it seems like WWE finally teases a great push for The Defiant One. Despite not being able to see Knight unleashing his magic at the biggest party of the summer, the post-event plan sounds promising as of now.
