Will the WWE returns of CM Punk and Randy Orton overshadow the rise of “The Mega Star” LA Knight?
Teddy Long doesn’t think so.
Playa.
The former longtime SmackDown General Manager and WWE Hall of Fame legend spoke during a recent appearance on the Wrestle Binge podcast about how he feels Punk and Orton returning will only help elevate Knight.
“I don’t think it’ll just be the Randy Orton and CM Punk show,” Long said. “I think everybody will be involved, but just maybe Randy and CM Punk might be the highlight of the night… Randy and Punk are established, okay? They’re a brand. LA Knight is trying to get there.”
Long continued, “So I don’t think that’ll hurt him at all. I think anything they do with LA Knight, if he goes with Punk or Randy, the only thing it’s going to do is elevate him. It’s going to help him.”
