Since the start of 2023, WWE fans have really gotten behind LA Knight, with the long-time veteran garnering some of the biggest reactions of a career that has spanned several different promotions. But to this point, the reactions haven’t resulted in a major push for Knight, something that hasn’t gone unnoticed by AAA booker Konnan, who worked with Knight in Impact Wrestling years ago.

In a recent episode of Keepin it 100, Konnan wasn’t shy about expressing his disbelief in Knight not yet receiving a push, though he believes the potential for one is still there.

“I don’t know why you’d have a guy, when it’s so hard to get people over, [who] is over, and you haven’t even pushed him,” Konnan said. “There’s so many great things you can do to make money with him, why you wouldn’t take advantage of him and try to take his knees out…And I could see him as Universal Champion, and if they gave him a proper push like we’ve seen them do when they want to, why not World Champ?”

One guy Konnan is far more patient on is Karrion Kross, another talent the lucha legend is familiar with due to Kross’ time in Impact and AAA. With Kross, Konnan believes it’s just a matter of timing that will allow Kross to break out.

“You know the type of employees you have, and he [Kross] is not the type that has heat,” Konnan said. “He’s a model employee, he’s the type of guy you want. He has ideas, he’s not just waiting around for you to give him ideas. He stays in shape, he’s sharp on his promos and his character…Yeah, he’s not one of these AJ Styles, but he can still go. He’s just one good storyline away from exploding.”
