LA Knight is currently one of the top superstars in WWE. With his exceptional promo delivery skills and in-ring talent, he has gained a lot of popularity among the fans. With that, he has recently been featured in several storylines and has participated in many pay-per-view events.
LA Knight was recently seen at the Crown Jewel 2023 PPV event, where the fan-favorite Superstar was all set to face Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. However, Knight lost to Reigns in the outcome of the match. Keeping Knight’s popularity in mind, it was indeed a tough creative decision taken by the Stamford-based promotion.
However, now, following the tough creative decision, two-time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has made a desperate plea towards Knight. Booker T. recently appeared on the Hall of Fame podcast. During that, he stated that he had heard many say that Knight has a bad attitude. The six-time World Champion said, “I don’t know about this guy, he’s got a bad attitude”.
Booker has heard LA Knight may have a ‘bad attitude backstage:
“I’ve heard guys say, ‘LA Knight, he’s got a bad attitude. I don’t know about this guy, he’s got a bad attitude.’ My thing is this, I’ve never really cared about getting heat with the boys as long as the boss liked… pic.twitter.com/rrCR4u0Rhb

He added, “For him to make it to that main event slot at that show, it just tells me he’s doing the right things”. Booker T. then went on to make a request to Knight. He said, “Don’t sway from the mission”. The WWE Hall of Famer also mentioned that it’s not about LA Knight’s wrestling style but rather his performance.
Thus, it seems WWE legend Booker T has a serious message for LA Knight. Meanwhile, it remains to be seen if the fan-favorite Superstar will have anything to say about what Booker T said in the upcoming days.
