SUMMARY
- Triple H is currently in change of WWE's creative decisions.
- Although a lot of his decisions have been appreciated by fans, Hunter is also getting criticism for his treatment of one particular superstar.
Triple H, the Chief Content Officer of WWE, often receives praise from the WWE Universe for his engaging storylines and booking decisions. Also, he is credited by many for bringing a lot of changes to WWE television after becoming the Head of Creative. However, now it seems HHH has been ruining one of his best talents in WWE, and fans are not happy about it.
The superstar in question is none other than LA Knight. As of now, Knight entertains the fans by performing on the SmackDown brand division of the Stamford-based promotion. In that regard, it is worth mentioning that, in recent times, Knight has gained a lot of popularity among fans. He is extremely loved by his supporters for his exceptional promo delivery skills and catchphrases.
However, now it seems he is not getting the adequate opportunity he deserves. Previously, in July 2023, Knight received the loudest pop of his career at Money in the Bank, which took place in London. Following that, many fans expected that WWE might have something bigger planned for him. However, that did not happen, and he was featured in a dark segment at Madison Square Garden.

Meanwhile, recently, on Friday Night SmackDown before Backlash 2024, LA Knight received another loud pop of his career. However, just like before, nothing special was planned for him; instead, his match, which was scheduled to take place on SmackDown, has been moved to an upcoming live event.
Thus, it seems that despite his popularity among fans, LA Knight is not getting an appropriate amount of time on WWE television. With that, it is to be seen what plans the Stamford-based promotion has in store for Knight in the upcoming days.
Fans react to Triple H’s booking of LA Knight
WWE recently announced that the match between Santos Escobar and LA Knight, which was scheduled to take place on this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, has been moved to a live event this weekend. As soon as fans got to know about the announcement, they took to their ‘X’ handles to share their thoughts on the matter.
Different fans reacted differently to the matter. Some of the fans blamed Triple H for his booking of Knight. One fan wrote, “LA Knight has been the worst booked top superstar in the Triple H era”. On the other hand, some of the fans showcased their support for Knight. One fan stated, “We just need to keep speaking up and standing behind the Megastar!”
Thus, it can be understood that HHH has not been booking Knight well, and fans are furious about it. With that, it is now to be seen if The Game will have anything to say about the matter.
LA Knight’s last big win took place at WrestleMania 40
LA Knight was recently deprived of his match at SmackDown. However, he previously bagged a huge win at the Grandest Stage of Them All at WrestleMania 40. The Premium Live Event, which took place on April 6 and 7, 2024, featured several noteworthy matches.
Meanwhile, on night 2 of the event, fan-favorite Superstar LA Knight faced WWE veteran AJ Styles in a singles match. They delivered an outstanding match and battled each other for over 12 minutes. With that, the outcome of the match saw Knight defeat Styles via pinfall.
It is worth mentioning that Knight’s match at WrestleMania XL was his first WrestleMania match. Not to mention, fans were extremely excited about his win and continuously cheered for him. Thus, it seems that though Knight occasionally gains momentum on WWE television, there still remains uncertainty about his future.
However, with the upcoming Premium Live Event, 2024 King and Queen of the Ring, fast approaching, it is to be seen if Knight will get a chance to shine during the event or after it. Whatever the case, fans will surely look forward to his matches and exciting promos.
