He has earned it. NXT is in a unique spot in the wrestling world, as it is both the developmental promotion for WWE while also being its own weekly television shows. The promotion has to find a way to balance these positions out, but one of the bigger problems is losing its talent for the sake of a main roster promotion. It seems that we will be seeing that take place again soon.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, LA Knight is likely in line for a promotion to the main roster after WrestleMania 38 in early April. Knight is 39 years old and WWE has been pushing for younger wrestlers on its main roster shows, but the company is said to be very high on Knight’s work. There is no word on which show Knight would be brought up to should he be called up.
Opinion: I have been a fan of Knight’s for a long time now and it would be great to see him get a shot on the main roster. Knight has a great look, can talk, and is good enough in the ring to back it up. There is something to WWE wanting to push the younger wrestlers, but it makes no sense to drop every other talented wrestler who happens to be a little bit older than the rest.
What do you think of Knight? How would he do on the main roster? Let us know in the comments below.
