5 WWE Stars Who Had An Underwhelming 2025

#3. LA Knight

One of the chief complaints with Triple H’s booking in 2025 was his decision not to go all-in with LA Knight’s push. The Megastar has been over with the crowd for more than two years. Since the summer of 2023, Knight has been receiving the loudest reactions from the crowd, but Hunter has never committed to a sustained push.

After Knight dropped the US Championship to Jacob Fatu at WrestleMania, WWE should have launched him into the main event scene. Instead, they fumbled his push and used him as fodder for the Vision. For the third straight year, Knight failed to win the Men’s Money in the Bank match.

The former US Champion earned some big wins, including a massive victory over Seth Rollins at Saturday Night’s Main Event in July. However, despite a relentless and brave pursuit, the World Heavyweight Championship eluded him. Knight spent the entire summer and fall fighting the Vision, but Triple H, cluelessly, kept him out of the Men’s WarGames match.

WWE has not committed to LA Knight. The fans’ support speaks for itself: they see Knight as a main eventer who should be the World Champion. Hopefully, 2026 turns out better.
