Sometimes, a wrestler joins WWE at the wrong time. This was absolutely the case with LA Knight, who’s original stint with the company didn’t even see him reach TV with their NXT brand.
He would build his name in Impact Wrestling and the National Wrestling Alliance as Eli Drake, becoming a true top star. His return to WWE was well received, as was his time in NXT where he held the Million Dollar Championship. Now on the main roster, Knight is just waiting for his chance to be a breakout star following the WWE Draft.
LA Knight Is Going To Have His Pick Of Champions Once He Wins Money In The Bank
Appearing on The Bump, LA Knight would say that it’s only a matter of time before WWE gives him a massive push – as they can’t ignore his talent or the demand of fans forever. Knight had the following to say.
“Finally, the WWE is gonna give me what I want. Why? Because I had to go out and make it happen. Look, I didn’t ask for anybody, talk about being a fan-favorite, I didn’t go out there and say, ‘Hey, please cheer for me. Hey, please like me.’ As a matter of fact, if they don’t cheer for me, if they don’t like me, doesn’t make a damn bit of difference to me.
At the end of the day, I’m gonna go to Money in the Bank, I’m gonna climb that ladder, I’m gonna pull the case down, and then any single one of those titles that I want is coming my way, whether it’s Gunther, whether it’s Austin Theory, whether it’s Seth Rollins or whether it’s Roman Reigns himself, any single one of them are in the crosshairs at this point. So what you got to think about is man, look, I didn’t get shoved down anybody’s throat.
I wasn’t anybody’s guy. I came in and I did my thing, and the whole world, whether you take me to Saudi Arabia, whether you take me to London, whether you take me to Puerto Rico, you can take me to Mobile, Alabama, and every single place is gonna make a whole lot of noise for LA Knight. You know why that is? Because they can see that I stand head and shoulders above everybody walking.”
