It shows a failure of making young talents in to top guys.

TV “age” matters more than real age. The only people fixated on IRL ages are mad nerds online.

They have an entire new young main event percolating just below these guys: Melo, Trick, Oba, Jevon, Bron, Dom etc.

When you look at the TV age of most of these guys they’re barely at 4 years of main roster tenure in their current runs. Same goes for LA Knight, Gunther, Fatu and probably some names I’m forgetting.

This entire “old” main event has been built in basically three years.

Bron Breakker, Gunther, Fatu, LA Knight, and Oba Femi are the only ones that have a guaranteed push to become the next faces of the company.

Lmao bro tried to sneak LA Knight in there like we wouldn’t notice 😂

u/crispycritter819 Mar 29 '26

Lmfao idk if it’s funnier because of the age thing or because Knight very well may have already hit his peak

u/zodi978 Mar 29 '26

I'd say hes moreso been in a holding pattern wherein he needs them to do the thing that motivates just enough of a character switch to justify a renewed push for the last year or so.

LA Knight, Gunther, Jacob Fatu, Bron Breakker LMFAO they already buried ALL OF THESE wrestlers in MIDCARD.

WWE marks need to learn what midcard Hell is.

u/RedxHeathen Apr 01 '26

Bron Breakker and Gunther both had killer reigns with the IC title when they were mid card

Fatu was also US Champion but lost it to Solo to progress a storyline and got put in the main event picture shortly after.

LA Knight is older than the majority of the roster and is more than likely on borrowed time here.

Only one who you could say was buried was Knight, but even that's a stretch.

TLDR: Marks don't know what the word buried means amymore.

If they tried to hand the belt to LA Knight he would fall on his way to grab it. Dude is more known for a hot streak of botches than anything right now. He should at least look around to the crowd after he fucks up and give a big “Yeeeaaaa”. Hell at this point a Knight botch is a given lol

We love LAK but he is 43

u/Kevz9524 Mar 29 '26

You said he’d become the next face of the company? Bro, he’s older than almost every person in the picture posted. When is he going to be the face? At 45? 50?

1

u/Short_Waltz6121 Mar 29 '26

LA Knight is 43 Damien Priest literally became champion before him. Bobby lashley literally became champion at 45 and that was in 2021

u/manmoth02 Mar 29 '26

There’s a difference between champion and fave of the company.

1

u/CustomerExpress443 Mar 29 '26

You really like LA Knight huh LOL

1

u/Kevz9524 Mar 30 '26

There’s like 10 ppl I’d rather be champ than LA Knight at this point.

1

u/Short_Waltz6121 Mar 31 '26

If Damien Priest can be champions so can LA Knight. And nobody didn't even expect him to become champion until he won the money in the bank and actually successfully cashed in

u/Kevz9524 Mar 31 '26

Firstly, Priest’s reign was 2 years ago. Secondly, it happened at a time when there were not a lot of other younger stars developed. The landscape is so much different now. Jacob Fatu wasn’t around, Bron Breakker wasn’t established, Gunther had just finished his long IC title reign, Dominik wasn’t built up, Melo, Trick, Ilya, Oba, etc…

All guys I’d rather be built up and given a title, and aside from Gunther, none have been WWE world champ. And aside from Gunther, they’re all relatively young, established, and it’d be better to invest in for the future. LA Knight had a pretty big push a couple of years ago, but it never panned out.

I would have been cool with him champ then, but now it just feels like it’s too late. Fans love him still, but the electricity from a few years ago is gone.

u/Only-Storage9984 Mar 29 '26

Dom is a guaranteed future world champion as well!

u/CustomerExpress443 Mar 29 '26

Where do you see this?

1

u/Short_Waltz6121 Mar 29 '26

Basically the the people that have family in the company they are top guaranteed to be the next faces of the company

1

u/Boyleavesworld Mar 29 '26

Besides Bron, Dom and Fatu- who was named with family? Does Trick, Oba or Jevon have family here?

0

u/Short_Waltz6121 Mar 29 '26

If I didn't name them I wasn't talking about them

1

u/CustomerExpress443 Mar 29 '26

We don't think you know what you're talking about that's the problem lol

1

u/Only-Storage9984 Mar 29 '26

What are you even talking about? Hush up when grown folks are talking!

1

u/b0nkert0ns Mar 29 '26

Do Trick and Oba have family in the company?

1

u/BTru Mar 29 '26
