The rise in popularity that WWE has seen with LA Knight lately has been something of pure magic. Originally brought up from NXT as the manager of Maximum Male Models, this was a role that was never going to stick – as Knight’s charisma and talent made him a fan favorite.
He’s been getting some of the loudest reactions from WWE fans, selling merch like crazy, but despite this – has only had two matches on Premium Live Events this year. However – Knight knows big things are coming, plans just needed to catch up with him.
LA Knight Knows That When Things Come Out Of Nowhere, Plans Take Time To Change
During an interview with Good Karma Wrestling, LA Knight would be asked about his lack of presence on WWE PLE events in 2023. Knight had the following response, knowing that sometimes plans need to change when someone has an organic rise like he’s found with WWE fans.
“Sure. I mean some of that, look, the roster is so stacked and full. You want the premium live event to stand out as something different than what you see on TV, so you don’t want the exact same formula. So those spots on the premium live events are limited, and so at some point, look, I’m getting the big reactions, you can’t deny that. But at the same time, I guess some people would say, ‘Well, he’s only been here nine or ten months or whatever.’ But some of that’s also just figuring out that a lot of this was unexpected. A lot of this came out of the blue, so sometimes plans have to change, and that’s the way it goes. So here we are, and now you’re looking at me being an integral part of this SummerSlam coming in. You got the Slim Jim battle royal, it’s 20 guys in that ring. I don’t who anybody else is in that match except me and Sheamus at this point, so all bets are off when it comes to that, but Ford Field, battle royal, you’re looking for big things and there just might be this guy’s hand raised right there. Yeah.”
Knight is the favorite to win the Battle Royale at Summerslam, which is a moment that will be sure to please his fans.
