Backstage HEAT On LA Knight In WWE?!
"Bad attitude" claims for one of WWE's hottest, most popular stars.
WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has claimed that LA Knight's peers believe the recent Undisputed WWE Universal Title challenge has a "bad attitude."
Booker said as much on his Hall of Fame podcast. The NXT commentator stated that he, personally, was never concerned about locker room heat provided his boss was happy.
Per Booker (h/t Wrestling Inc.):
"I've heard guys say, 'LA Knight he's got a bad attitude. I don't know about this guy, he's got a bad attitude.' My thing is this, I've never really cared about getting heat with the boys as long as the boss liked everything that was going on. If the boss liked it, I was cool."
Continuing, Book said that from personal experience, he didn't believe Knight was a bad person. He noted, too, that regardless of what might be happening backstage, LA is at least winning management over:
"For him to make it to that main event slot at that show, it just tells me he's doing the right things, don't sway from the mission. It's not about your wrestling, I've said that many, many times, even though he goes out and he does a good job in the middle of the ring. It's about his performance."
Knight was defeated by Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel 2023 last week, having risen as one of WWE's most popular babyface stars this year.
