WWE SmackDown Superstar LA Knight is going to main event the upcoming Crown Jewel 2023 premium-live-event against Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns for the title on November 4th at the Mohammed Abdu Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
2-Time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T stated on a recent episode of his weekly podcast that he thinks WWE should pull the trigger with Knight at the event, as Knight is white hot right now.
Here’s what the 5-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion had to say about ‘The Megastar’:
“I don’t know if they’re going to pull the trigger on him right now. But I’ll tell you what. I never try to write the show. We talk about that on this show all the time. You know, we just had Mark Henry last week. Say I refer to Mark Henry, Bubba Ray, Disco Inferno, those types of guys to actually give you guys the. Synopsis of how the show should go or how it should.
But I can tell you this if they were to pull the trigger on LA Knight. What a surprise it would be. And how many people would go nuts? So my thing is, I’m a fan, just like you guys. I’m wishing for LA Knight to get the big push. Because one thing about this business is always talking about also the sand in the hourglass, the clock is ticking, and you want to capitalize right now. You don’t want to wait till tomorrow to capitalize on something like late night because that fire is going to burn out.
It’s not going to be this hot. It’s not going to be this hot forever, fairly night. So it’s just like a wrestling match. You want to go home when the fire is as hot as it can be. Why not go home? Send them home, man. See, that’s what I’m saying. That’s a book, you know. So, I think that’s the same thing with LA Knight. He’s hot, man. Hot. He’s white. Hot. And if they were to pull the trigger on it on LA Knight, I think the people would go nuts.
I really do. You talk about the Intercontinental Championship. I’m talking about the World Championship, the WWE Title. If they put it on him right now. People go nuts. They really would.”
Speaking of the Crown Jewel PLE, ticket sales are going very well, which is why WWE is considering expanding the seating capacity.
Here’s what BWE reported:
“Discussion over adding more seats for Crown Jewel. Event got sold out in hours time.”
At last year’s Crown Jewel 2022 event, Roman Reigns successfully defended his title against Logan Paul, while Brock Lesnar managed to defeat Bobby Lashley.
A few years ago, the Saudi Arabian prince would demand as many Legends and Veterans as possible, which led to appearances by The Undertaker, Goldberg, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Kurt Angle, Shawn Michaels, Kane, … and others; however for some reason that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.
