Much like Abyss, LA Knight does not find himself on this list due to any kayfabe accomplishments during his WWE tenure. In fact the only "championship win" for the former Eli Drake was the Million Dollar Championship during his time in NXT during his feud with Cameron Grimes, and that title was used more as a prop than a prestigious Championship.

During Eli Drake's five years in TNA/Impact Wrestling, he won the Impact World, Tag Team and King of the Mountain Championships once. More than that, Drake was established as dependable as anyone on the roster with a microphone in his hand. This led the Maryland native to have a solid feud with nearly anybody on the roster at the time. Much to fans delight, that is exactly how LA Knight has been used since arriving in WWE back in 2021. If his role as Max Dupri can be forgiven, Knight has proven himself to be a Superstar in every sense of the word, having the look, charisma and mic skills to excel in the biggest wrestling company in the world.

While a victory in his feud with Wyatt and Uncle Howdy seems unlikely, his prominent position in the company (including his recent segment with The Undertaker on Raw XXX, so early on in his WWE tenure can only mean good things are in store for the former Eli Drake.....YEAH!!
