WWE legend hopes popular 41-year-old Superstar can maintain his stardom after the return of CM Punk and Randy Orton 

Wrestling fans have experienced some huge returns in November. Often, these returning superstars overshadow the rising stars in different promotions. In the same current, former WCW Champion, Booker T has expressed his concern about LA Knight. He believes that the Megastar is in danger of losing momentum.

This concern flared up once fans saw the earth-shattering returns of Randy Orton and CM Punk at Survivor Series 2023. The professional wrestling world has seemingly centered the spotlight on these two figures since then. Booker explained how it is tough to tackle the popularity of two legends at the same time. He believes that pulling the trigger on the push of LA Knight quickly can be the only way forward.

I said we need to pull the trigger on LA Knight. We need to do it quickly, I'm sure all of this stuff with CM Punk unfolded rather quickly [with] him getting back in the game. We've been anticipating Randy's return for quite some time, but having more than one person to compete with at one time, could be rather [difficult]. It could shake up everything.

While fans can understand the concern that the former King of the Ring expressed, it seems LA Knight has already started preparing to hold the ground. The Megastar stood side by side with the Viper at the previous week’s SmackDown as they took on the Bloodline. While creative booking always determines the direction, it seems LA Knight’s popularity is here to stay.

Teddy Long believes returning figures can elevate LA Knight

Former WWE Authority figure, Teddy Long recently appeared in an interview with Sportskeeda. The former SmackDown General Manager believes that WWE will not be a program only focused on the legends. Instead, they will be able to maintain a balance between pushing LA Knight and bringing a spotlight to the returning legends.

I don't think it'll just be the Randy Orton and CM Punk show. I think anything they do with LA Knight, if he goes with Punk or Randy, the only thing it's going to do is elevate him. It's going to help him.

The Viper and the Megastar have already rubbed shoulders together. They were successful in overcoming the common foe, the Bloodline. Time will tell if WWE has a segment with the Best in the World in store for the Megastar. For now, fans await the next major move in Knight’s career as he assists Orton in taking it back to the Bloodline.
