WWE has a breakout star on their hands in LA Knight. The former Eli Drake entered the WWE Universe and his charisma and catchphrases are already big money. The company realizes this, and they want to cash in as well. That being said, nobody is pressing their hand.
LA Knight is ranking in the top merchandise sellers in the entire company right now. He is also getting extra attention at live shows, and even performed in a dark segment for the Madison Square Garden fans that blew up online.
BWE was credited with a report that said WWE is turning LA Knight babyface, because they have “no choice.” Although LA Knight is turning babyface, the proven WWE insider wanted to make it very clear that he never used those words to report the story.
Who runs this? I have never said such!! Hes just turning Face. Where did i say “Have no choice” these click merchants ffs
LA Knight is getting cheers, and WWE had to pipe in boos in the past to cover them up. It appears that they won’t go down that patch right now. If anything, LA Knight will get organic cheers from this point on.
We will have to see what WWE does with LA Knight on the main roster. Obviously, he has a lot of eyes on him. Only time will tell if he picks up a title in the process.
