10 WWE Wrestlers Who NEED A Big Push After Royal Rumble 2023
6. LA Knight
LA Knight got over during Bray Wyatt's big comeback story arc, which is some bloody feat. Bray Wyatt didn't get over during Bray Wyatt's big comeback story arc, if that damning silence in San Antonio is any indication.
LA Knight was the audience surrogate for those fans who cannot sanction Bray Wyatt's rambling nonsense. He ripped the piss out of his opponent and was entertaining in the process. Really, if anybody else had feuded with Wyatt, their credibility would no longer exist (much like the Fiend's, who bear in mind was meant to disassociate you from the last disastrous incarnation of the Wyatt act). Bray Wyatt talks in circles about circles, and the circle is already complete:
Start anew with a different version of the same character.
The credibility of the different version of the character is irrevocably broken.
Start anew with a different version of the same character.
Knight has somehow survived a programme with Wyatt. He lost, but isn't damaged. He made Wyatt - indirectly, just about - somewhat entertaining. That's a bigger win than an actual win.
Proving himself capable of elevating dire material, Knight is an amusing midcard distraction, and WWE should recognise that with a push in a (winning) programme with Karrion Kross, who is also ripe for Knight's brand of parody.
The matches would be terrible, but so would 1994 Bret Hart Vs. Karrion Kross.
