"It was a very special night in Chicago last night for @WWENXT. I’m always inspired when I’m around. The talent, work ethic and desire to be the best was evident throughout the night. @ShawnMichaels and crew put on an excellent show, and I can’t wait to see what’s next. #WWENXT," he wrote.

Former WWE writer claims Triple H is failing LA Knight
Vince Russo recently claimed that Triple H's booking has failed United States Champion LA Knight on SmackDown.
The Megastar won the United States Championship by defeating Logan Paul at SummerSlam earlier this year. Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's BroDown, Russo praised Knight as a performer but suggested the company didn't have a plan for him. The veteran noted that the United States Champion was relying on Triple H's creative and the promotion needed to give him better material to work with.
"LA Knight is a very very talented performer but if they don’t have a story for him, it’s gonna get old and it’s gonna get stale. That to me is what’s happening to LA Knight and it’s on LA Knight. LA Knight does not write the show bro. He’s depending on Hunter [Triple H], depending on creative. They need to feed him material. If they don’t feed him material, it’s gonna get stale."
