LA Knight Just an Enhancement Talent?

As a fan of professional wrestling, it's always disappointing to see talented performers not get the recognition they deserve. And in the case of LA Knight, it's difficult not to wonder if WWE views him as nothing more than an enhancement talent.

For those who are unfamiliar with LA Knight, he is a wrestler currently shining on Smackdown in the middle of the card. He has an impressive resume, having won championships in multiple promotions before joining WWE. However, since his debut on Smackdown, he has yet to really break out as a top star. Despite his many attempts (successful with the audience) to get himself over.

Instead, it seems that WWE views Knight as an enhancement talent, someone whose job it is to help get over younger, up-and-coming stars. While there's nothing inherently wrong with this role, it does feel like a waste of Knight's talent and potential.

What's particularly frustrating is that Knight has all the tools to be a top star in WWE. He's charismatic, has great in-ring skills, and is comfortable on the microphone. But instead of pushing him to the moon, WWE seems content to have him put over other wrestlers.

It's not just Knight who's been subject to this treatment, either. WWE has a long history of bringing in talented wrestlers and then using them as glorified jobbers. It's a trend that can be frustrating for fans who want to see their favourite performers succeed.

Of course, it's possible that WWE has bigger plans for Knight down the line. Perhaps they're waiting for the right moment to give him a big push. But as it stands right now, it's hard not to view him as an afterthought.

In conclusion, it's frustrating to see a talented wrestler like LA Knight not get the recognition he deserves. While WWE may view him as an enhancement talent, it's clear that he has the potential to be a top star in the industry. Here's hoping that WWE eventually gives him the opportunity to shine. Let me know if you agree with me or if I’m just overreacting.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How t...

If John Cena Beats Cody Rhodes he Technically Becomes an 18-Time World Champion

John Cena won the Elimination Chamber on Saturday night and secured an Undisputed WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania this April. What followed was a shocking heel turn that fans have wanted for years. That’s not what I’m talking about here. We’re talking about how John Cena will technically become an 18-time World Champion if he beats Cody Rhodes. That would put him two ahead of Ric Flair. Ever since Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar to unify the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship. From that point on, WWE recognized Roman as having two Championship reigns. With the Universal Championship and with the WWE Championship. Same with Cody Rhodes when he beat Reigns for the Undisputed Championship at last year’s WresteMania. If you look at WWE’s website it shows two concurrent reigns for Cody. If Cena beats Cody it’s always possible that WWE in the future recognizes this as one World Title reign instead of two. There’s a few of Flair’s reign...

Bobby Lashley Issues Warning to Jon Moxley

Bobby Lashley debuted in All Elite Wrestling on October 30th last year, rejoining his former WWE stablemates MVP and Shelton Benjamin, forming The Hurt Syndicate. Lashley and The Hurt Syndicate are one of the hottest acts in AEW right now with Lashley and Benjamin winning the World Tag Team Titles last month. It’s inevitable that Bobby Lashley will get a World Championship shot at some point. He’s very over right now and a legit main event talent. Lashley gave a warning to AEW World Champion Jon Moxley when speaking to the Sporting Tribune . Lashley said it’s only a matter of time till they face off but he’s focused on his tag team right now. Lashley said that when Jon Moxley sees him in the locker room, he stays clear of him. Despite being cheered like a babyface, Bobby Lashley is a heel and Jon Moxley is also a heel so I don’t see them facing off soon. But I like the idea of a Moxley/Lashley match whether it’s for the Title or not. Saying that, I’d also be a fan of Bo...
