Booker T believes LA Knight has all the tools to succeed in WWE, but the Hall of Famer isn’t ready to guarantee that a world title reign is in his future. Knight is scheduled to challenge Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE Money in the Bank on October 10 at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.
Speaking on a recent episode of the Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T praised Knight’s ability while making clear that not every talented performer reaches the top of the card. “Everybody’s not going to be the champion,” Booker T said, according to multiple outlets covering the podcast, adding that Knight is “a hell of a talent.”
According to Wrestling Headlines, Booker T went on to compare Knight to other WWE performers who built strong careers and connected with fans without ever capturing a world championship, framing that outcome as far from a career failure. The comparison underscores Booker T’s broader point that a wrestler’s value in WWE is not solely measured by championship gold.
The comments come as Knight heads into one of the biggest matches of his career, a world title opportunity against Roman Reigns on pay-per-view. WWE has not revealed further details about the build to the match beyond the confirmed date and location, and it remains to be seen whether Knight will leave New Orleans as champion.
