"Put the rocket on him [LA Knight], man," Booker T said. "I mean, quit messing around. Put the title on him. That’s my thing, man. When you got a guy like him, he's rare, he's very rare. He's organic, he's figured it out on his own. When you got guys like that, you got to put 'em in the game. That's just me. That's the school I come from. So yeah, watching that dude do his stuff right now, it's been awesome." [H/T Fightful]
