Bully Ray believes that LA Knight’s time as WWE’s top star is extremely limited.
There is no doubt that The Megastar frequently gets one of the loudest positive reactions each week as fans can’t wait to join in with Knight’s catchphrases and react to whatever putdown he has come up with. However, Ray believes that the magic is not there when the bell rings.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, the Hall of Famer acknowledged that Knight is great on the mic, but couldn’t name any memorable matches:
“I don’t want to use the term ‘one-trick pony’ but if you surveyed the WWE Universe and you ask them why they’re so into LA Knight, they’re gonna talk to you about his mic skills,” Bully explained. “What are we seeing in the ring from LA Knight right now that makes us as into him as we are into him on the microphone?”
Ray continued by stating that mic work will only get Knight so far and he needs to have that breakout performance bell-to-bell:
“It’s only gonna last so long,” Bully said. “That’s why he needs to have more quality matches.”
LA Knight Looks To Prove Bully Ray Wrong With New Deal
Knight appears to have impressed the right people as he is reportedly close to signing a new deal with the company that is set to last for 5 years. The new deal is also set to allow WWE to pull the trigger on Knight and present him as the top babyface, setting him up for a “megapush” in the near future.
