‘Road Dogg’ Jesse James has credited certain Superstars who have become so undeniably over that WWE has no choice but to push them.
On a recent edition of his “Oh You Didn’t Know” podcast, James named LA Knight as someone who has gotten over in this way and he isn’t the only one. He said,
[People can] “become so undeniable that it’s obvious when they’re trying to deny you.”
Road Dogg added that Becky Lynch’s surge in popularity as ‘The Man’ in 2018 was another example of a Superstar becoming undeniable. He said,
“I think it was obvious during this time, and I think it was the right decision too. You don’t just throw the baby out with the bathwater, we’ve got some plans, but, hey this star started shining bright really quick, I think it was the right creative decision and I think it was a heck of a match too.”
Lynch’s popularity would result in her winning the SmackDown & RAW Women’s Championships in the main event of WrestleMania 35 in 2019.

In the world of professional wrestling, there are certain Superstars who become so popular and beloved by the audience that WWE has no choice but to push them to the top. These Superstars become undeniable in their popularity, and their rise to the main event scene is inevitable. ‘Road Dogg’ Jesse James recently discussed this phenomenon on his podcast, “Oh You Didn’t Know,” and named a few examples of Superstars who have experienced this undeniable push.
One of the Superstars mentioned by Road Dogg is LA Knight. According to Road Dogg, LA Knight has become so undeniably over with the audience that it’s obvious when WWE tries to deny him. This means that despite any obstacles or attempts to hold him back, LA Knight’s popularity and connection with the fans cannot be ignored. This kind of organic fan support often leads to a Superstar’s rise in the company.
Another example given by Road Dogg is Becky Lynch, who experienced a surge in popularity in 2018 when she adopted the persona of ‘The Man.’ Road Dogg believes that during this time, it was obvious that Lynch had become a star and that it was the right creative decision to push her. He also praised her match quality, stating that it was a heck of a match. Lynch’s popularity eventually led to her winning both the SmackDown and RAW Women’s Championships in the main event of WrestleMania 35 in 2019.
These examples highlight the power of organic fan support and how it can influence WWE’s creative decisions. When a Superstar becomes undeniably over with the audience, it becomes clear that they have struck a chord and resonated with the fans. WWE recognizes this and often capitalizes on the momentum by giving these Superstars significant pushes and opportunities to shine.
It’s important to note that not every Superstar who gets over with the audience receives this undeniable push. WWE has their own plans and storylines in place, and sometimes they may not align with the organic popularity of a Superstar. However, when the stars align and a Superstar’s popularity becomes too big to ignore, WWE often adjusts their plans and gives them the spotlight they deserve.
In conclusion, certain Superstars in WWE become so undeniably over with the audience that the company has no choice but to push them to the top. Examples like LA Knight and Becky Lynch demonstrate the power of organic fan support and how it can influence WWE’s creative decisions. When a Superstar becomes undeniable, WWE recognizes their popularity and provides them with significant opportunities to shine.
