LA Knight is set for his mega push.
Knight continues to be booked as a big attraction for WWE, and his feud with The Miz may launch Knight into the main event scene like so many fans have wanted for the Mega Star in the last year or so.
Earlier this year, LA Knight was absent from WrestleMania 39, despite many fans wanting to see Knight added to the card at the last minute.
However, it now looks like he may be a shoe in for the WrestleMania 40 card. That being said, now it has been reported that Knight is negotiating a new 5 year deal with WWE.
The Wrestling Observer Newslettter noted that LA Knight is set to get a “megapush” in WWE.
“LA Knight is expected to get a mega push going forward given that the ratings for his segments and his merchandise sales have both been very strong. The crowd reaction alone would help you but in many cases if WWE thinks it’s a fad and there isn’t economic indications they only take crowd reactions to a certain level. But with Knight, the success is across the board. PW Insider also reported the company is renegotiating his deal for as long as another five years.”
WON
We will have to see what comes next for Knight after he was able to dispatch of The Miz at Payback on Saturday.
