Wrestling veteran Konnan believes LA Knight could win the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship or the World Heavyweight Title.
The 40-year-old superstar made his main roster debut in May 2022 as Max Dupri, the leader of Maximum Male Models. However, he later dropped the gimmick and returned to his previous persona as LA Knight. Since then, Knight has had one major feud with Bray Wyatt.
Speaking on Keepin' It 100, Konnan addressed the possibility of Knight winning a world title despite his age.
"I don't know why you would have a guy, when it's so hard to get people over, that is over and you haven't even pushed him and there's so many great things you can do to make money with him, why you wouldn't take advantage of him and try to take his knees out because I don't think that's the mentality there anymore. And I could see him as Universal Champion and if they gave him a proper push like we've seen them do when they want to, why not World Champ?" he said. [2:21 to 2:54]
