Wrestling veteran Matt Morgan has thrown his weight behind LA Knight to emerge victorious in the King of the Ring tournament. Morgan, speaking on his podcast, Gigantic Pop, believes that crowning Knight the King of the Ring would be an ideal way for WWE to recognize and reward The Megastar without giving him a physical title.
Knight, who defeated Santos Escobar to qualify for the second round of the tournament, is now set to face The Bloodline’s Tama Tonga. A win in that match would see him progress to the semi-finals, where he would face the winner of the Randy Orton vs. Carmelo Hayes match. Morgan’s endorsement of Knight comes as no surprise, given the latter’s impressive performances in the WWE despite failing to capture the Undisputed WWE Championship on multiple occasions.
Knight himself has expressed the importance of winning championships, stating in an interview with Interstate 70 Sports Media that securing titles is a crucial aspect of his career. With Cody Rhodes, the current Undisputed WWE Champion, expressing interest in defending his title against Knight, the possibility of a thrilling matchup between the two fan favorites later this year is an exciting prospect.
Morgan’s suggestion that Knight winning the King of the Ring tournament would be a fitting way to reward him without giving him a physical title is an astute observation. The tournament’s victor earns a prestigious accolade without being burdened with the responsibilities that come with holding a physical title. This would allow Knight to bask in the glory of his achievement while still pursuing his aspirations of becoming a champion.
With the King of the Ring tournament heating up, the question on everyone’s mind is: who will ultimately be crowned the King of the Ring? Will it be LA Knight, as Morgan predicts, or will another WWE superstar emerge victorious? One thing is certain – the road to the finals promises to be an thrilling ride, filled with drama, action, and suspense.
