WWE Superstar LA Knight is currently the hottest prospect in the entire company, and the reactions he receives from the WWE universe speak for themselves. Knight has been in the industry for a long time, and he is now receiving the popularity he deserves in WWE.
Knight is having the best time of his WWE career, but it was not always like this. Upon his arrival on the main roster, LA was involved in a faction called “Maximum Male Models,” and his popularity started rising only after he left the faction in September 2022.
As LA Knight’s rise to stardom started, everyone’s thoughts towards the wrestler also changed. People started admiring his in-ring ability and charismatic personality. One such incident involving a WWE legend has recently come to the limelight, as he changed his tune on LA Knight and also apologised amid Knight’s popularity. He previously called Knight a Dwayne Johnson “rip-off.”
On a recent episode of the “Kliq This” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash recently changed his tone on LA Knight. Kevin said, “If LA Knight, if the people, if he’s the chosen one, if he’s the people’s champion, then he’s the people’s champion, then it doesn’t fu**ing matter to me.”
“If his segments do a number and that fu**ing helps the WWE, of which I’m a stockholder, and it makes my buddy, fu**ing Paul’s life easier, than fu**, get over dude. It was just one of those things where I don’t watch SmackDown, so dude, I didn’t know who the fu** you were, and I apologised,” the WWE legend added. (Via: wrestlingnews.co)
What is next for LA Knight in WWE?
LA Knight is currently the hottest WWE superstar among the WWE universe, and due to this, he was the favourite to win the men’s MITB match and go on to win a championship. However, he wasn’t able to win the MITB briefcase and disappeared from WWE TV after his heartbreaking loss.
Knight made his first appearance after the PLE on last week’s episode of WWE SmackDown and vowed to become a champion soon. This has started speculation among fans about whether the company is finally going to give LA a well-deserved championship reign.

Such speculations got even higher as the company announced Knight would be a part of a fatal four-way match on Next week’s SmackDown. If Knight wins the match, he will be fighting against LWO’s Santos Escobar, and the winner of that match will become the Number one contender for the US Championship.
If the rumors turn out to be true, LA Knight can be seen challenging Austin Theory for the United States Championship at WWE SummerSlam 2023. If it really happens, then it can be the perfect moment for the WWE to give LA Knight his first championship reign on the main roster. It remains to be seen what eventually happens and if WWE will finally pull the trigger on LA Knight.
