How good is LA Knight and why is he so popular in WWE?

LA Knight recently feuded with Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, and while he did come up short, that was always going to be the case. It was a positive for Knight that the company protected him with the finish, and there is still hope that the rising star can win the gold one day. Clearly, Knight didn't get into a position where he could feud with the historically great Reigns by accident. In fact, WWE didn't initially have big plans for him when they called him to the main roster. They even doubted his ability to wrestle because of his age. So the success Knight is having in the company is entirely down to his quality and his ability to prove even the bookers dead wrong about him.

Ranking the 10 best wrestlers in WWE right now for 2023

Ranking the best professional wrestlers in WWE is even more difficult than ranking the best athletes in other sports - or even ranking wrestlers in another promotion.

Comparing heels to faces, tag team wrestlers to singles wrestlers, and all sorts of other scenarios makes for an even greater challenge. But let's do our best to rank the 10 best wrestlers in WWE right now. 10. Jimmy U...

Liv Morgan’s journey to becoming a world champion in WWE

There are so many things I love about professional wrestling, but I don't think anything tops watching a babyface get their moment. The weeks - months, really - leading to the big win are filled with uncertainty. Are we actually going to see this happen? Or is the rug going to be pulled out from underneath them just like last year? Liv Morgan has been able to get fans behind her for years. In 2019, a lot of fans started pinpointing her as a future world champion, taking note of how rapidly she had improved while with the Riott Squad. I believe there are fans who underestimate the impact Liv had in 2018 and 2019. Raw was in a rough spot in 2018. There wasn't a full-time men's champion, with Brock Lesnar effectively holding the title hostage. And the Women's Division, as usual, was lef...
