Hall of Famer Slams WWE's Protection of LA Knight
10 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Hall of Famer Bully Ray criticized WWE's booking of LA Knight's recent losses.
- Knight was recently pinned by Gunther and defeated by Logan Paul on RAW.
- Bully Ray felt LA Knight should not have tapped out to Gunther's submission.
WWE has faced backlash from wrestling legend Bully Ray regarding the booking of LA Knight. Ray expressed strong disapproval of how the company has protected "The Megastar" in recent matches, particularly his submission loss to Gunther.
Speaking on the Busted Open Podcast, Bully Ray detailed his concerns, stating that Knight tapping out was not the ideal finish. He contrasted this with situations where wrestlers pass out, citing Stone Cold Steve Austin's iconic submission to Bret Hart's Sharpshooter as a more heroic outcome that still protected the babyface.
Knight's recent losses include a defeat to Logan Paul on RAW, influenced by interference, and the aforementioned loss to Gunther. The post-match assault by Paul and Bronson Reed, which saw Knight placed in a neck brace, suggests an extended absence from television.
