Booker T thinks WWE should strike when the iron is hot with LA Knight.
Over the last several months, LA Knight has become one of the hottest stars in WWE. Fans have rallied around him, and his surging popularity has propelled him to the main event of WWE Crown Jewel, where he will challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
Spekaing on the Hall of Fame with Booker T and Brad Gilmore, the WWE Hall of Famer was asked whether he thinks too much time will go by before WWE pulls the trigger on LA Knight. One listener noted that they see Knight as a great Intercontinental Champion.
"I don’t know if they’re gonna pull the trigger on him right now. But I tell you what, I never try to write the show. But I can tell you this, if they were to pull the trigger on LA Knight for the surprise, and how many people would go nuts. My thing is, I’m a fan, just like you guys. I’m wishing for LA Knight to get the big push. One thing about this business I always talk about, the sand in the hourglass, the clock is ticking, and you want to capitalize right now. You don’t want to wait until tomorrow to capitalize on something like LA Knight. Because that fire’s gonna burn out. It’s not gonna be this hot forever for LA Knight. It’s just like a wrestling match. You want to go home when the fire is as hot as it can be. White hot, go home. Send ‘em home, man. That’s what I’m saying, as a booker. So I think that’s the same thing with LA Knight. He’s hot, man. He’s white-hot. If they were to pull the trigger on LA Knight, I think the people would go nuts. I really do. You talk about Intercontinental Championship, I’m talking about the world championship, I’m talking about the WWE Title. If they put it on him right now, people would go nuts. They really would," Booker T said.
