WWE SummerSlam 2023 witnessed LA Knight win the Slim Jim Battle Royale by eliminating Sheamus. Knight is currently one of the most popular superstars in the WWE and has seen a major surge in his popularity over the span of the last few months.

Despite being a hit with the fans, WWE has failed to utilize his fandom. LA Knight is yet to win a championship in the WWE. However, they booked Knight to win the Slim Jim Battle Royale, which however had nothing as a reward. But Knight’s popularity is bound to help the billion-dollar company like a WWE Hall of Famer did in the past.

Which WWE Hall of Famer helped Slim Jim with his popularity in the past, like LA Knight could do now?

Despite SummerSlam including several memorable spots, Knight’s Battle Royale win received a pop like no other. With the entire crowd on their feet, fans showed their undeniable support for LA Knight. In response to the buzz the rising WWE star is creating, Slim Jim recently reported their happiness with the success of the event.

WWE made a huge amount of money from the sponsored Battle Royale alone, and Slim Jim reportedly was extremely excited to see LA Knight come out on top during the 20-man Battle Royale.

In 1993, WWE Hall of Famer “Macho Man” Randy Savage signed a deal with Slim Jim that saw him get paid a massive amount of money while bringing his stardom to the meat company. His popularity helped Slim Jim a lot, and the company is looking forward to history repeating itself with LA Knight’s massive success.

After the billion-dollar company sponsored Bianca Belair during her entrance, they were very excited to bring LA Knight into their team as well. FightFul reported that Slim Jim has requested for a few commercials with Bianca Belair, while also raising their interest in LA Knight.

Knight’s mic skills and charisma could be an added bonus for Slim Jim during his time with the company. He could turn out to be an excellent spokesperson for the brand like Randy Savage was 30 years ago. It is now to be seen what WWE has in store for LA Knight after his Battle Royale win.

What has WWE planned for LA Knight in the immediate future?

Although the Slim Jim Battle Royale did not offer any prize to the winner, the commentators discussed a very interesting thing. While the match was on, Corey Graves and Michael Cole discussed how the purpose behind the Battle Royale was to find a future World Champion.

While nothing official has been put out, WWE could potentially start building LA Knight into a World Champion. With the star being at the very top of the popularity charts, it would be a wise decision to hand him over the Mid-card title, if not the World title.
