LA Knight is currently one of the superstars in WWE who gets massive support from the WWE Universe. The self-proclaimed megastar receives a loud YEAH! reactions wherever he goes, and he has proven to be a ratings draw for the company.
However, despite his rising popularity in the company, a report has emerged claiming that LA Knight is facing some backstage political issues in the Stamford-based Promotion. What are these developments? Let’s take a closer look.
Reports confirm backstage assessment of LA Knight
This situation started when reports claimed that the Megastar might be rubbing some people in the backstage of the company the wrong way. The noteworthy point is that these reports emerged during the major rise of the star on WWE SmackDown.
The report also alleges that Vince McMahon has become a huge fan of Knight in the company. For those unaware, Knight is receiving the best fan reactions from the crowd on the Blue Brand, whether he appears on-air or off-air.
Ringside recently clarified this report, stating that they were told by a tenured member of the WWE creative team: “He doesn’t understand the WWE locker room yet. He’ll get straightened out.”
If this report turns out to be true, then it seems like the Megastar is still not able to adjust himself properly within the company. However, fans of LA Knight will surely hope that he can somehow improve his backstage interactions so that it doesn’t become an obstacle to his WWE success.
Fans upset with back-to-back LA Knight setbacks
Despite experiencing a significant rise in the company, LA Knight is still suffering from major losses. On the latest edition of SmackDown, the Megastar competed in a fatal four-way invitational match, where Knight received strong support from the crowd. However, the match ended with Rey Mysterio securing the victory.
Prior to this, the former Million Dollar Champion also competed in the Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match, resulting in another upset as Damian Priest emerged as the MITB winner.
With SummerSlam just a few weeks away, fans are left wondering whether LA Knight will be part of the show or not, given his recent loss in the United States Championship opportunity. However, a report suggests that Knight may receive a major push in the company after the Biggest Party of the Summer. Therefore, fans will have to wait and see how the company will book LA Knight at SummerSlam this year.
