LA Knight should have all the tools to become a main event player in WWE, but he has yet to win a world title or beat a main eventer in a feud.
What's holding LA Knight back?
Bully Ray explained on "Busted Open Radio" that the issue with LA Knight is not his microphone skills, but rather his in-ring ability.
The veteran wrestler noted that Knight's character falls flat once the bell rings, and he loses the emotional connection with the audience.
Why isn't WWE pushing LA Knight?
Bully Ray questioned why WWE isn't giving Knight more opportunities, considering he's over with the people and has a strong fan base.
He suggested that WWE wants Knight to prove himself, but his in-ring work is not resonating with the audience.
Can LA Knight improve?
Bully Ray emphasized that Knight needs to find a way to become one with the audience and create an emotional connection to his work.
He compared Knight's character work to that of the Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin, but noted that Knight should make his character his own.
And Bully Ray added that Knight should take a page out of Hulk Hogan's book, who took aspects from 'Superstar' Billy Graham and made himself a bigger star.
So Knight has been in the industry for a long time and should be a bigger name in pro wrestling overall.
But WWE likely wants him to prove himself as well, and his lack of a push is not due to WWE creative's fault, as they already put the U.S. Championship on him before.
Bully Ray's comments were made on an episode of "Busted Open Radio", where he shared his thoughts on LA Knight's career.
The veteran wrestler's opinion is that Knight has the potential to be a main event player, but he needs to work on his in-ring ability and create a stronger emotional connection with the audience.
As of now, LA Knight's future in WWE remains uncertain, but one thing is clear - he needs to improve his in-ring work to become a top star.
