LA Knight is currently one of the most famous stars on the WWE roster and is doing an amazing job since joining the main roster. It is being said that soon he would be promoted to the main event level soon. He is working in the main roster for about a year and in a very short amount of time he became pretty famous among WWE fans.
There are rumours that he is going to win the Money in the Bank ladder match of this year and he is the biggest favourite among all seven participants. He has become extremely popular ever since joining the main roster and that is mostly because of his excellent mic skill. His catchphrase “yeah” has also done a great job in lifting him.

But when he started his main roster career he was a Re packaged as an agent for a faction called Maximum Male Models and he was renamed as Max Dupri. This new gimmick was very poorly received. But as soon as Triple got in charge of WWE Creative scrapped the game and restored the LA Knight persona once again.
Recently Knight revealed that Vince McMahon was concerned about his age and he was not sure whether to push him as a wrestler. So he thought it would be better to promote him as an agent of a faction. Speaking with Mail Sport’s Alex McCarthy recently, the megastar said;
The Transformation Unveiled: Exploring the Shocking Reasons Behind LA Knight’s Repackaging as Max Dupri
‘You’re talking about rolling in the O2, you’re talking about climbing ladders and all this stuff – it’s going to be a car crash! But it’s going to be a damn good time and it’s going to be in front of a hot crowd so I think we’re in for a good night.’
AM: I was at Hall of Fame and WrestleMania weekend and everybody was loving LA Knight. You must have felt the love from the crowd, right? I know the disappointment of maybe not being on the show would linger, but still, it really has started to reach that crescendo around WrestleMania.
LA: ‘Yeah, it has been picking up since about March and it hit a fever pitch around Wrestlemania and it has kind of just continued on since then. You try to ignore it and try not to hear it for a little bit and then it’s just like “ok, well, not really much you can do about this any more, it’s here.”‘
AM: And that’s the thing. I feel like when you’re on the mic now – and you’ve always been like this in your career, but I’m just talking WWE perspective – that’s really captured the imagination of the people. You’ve had a long road, but do you think you have arrived at exactly the right time in WWE?
LA: ‘Yeah, probably, because I don’t think the WWE fans have seen anybody like me ever or at least in a very long time. But I would say ‘ever’ because of my package because a lot of people like to make comparisons with this guy, that guy, whatever, but at the same time, no matter who you compare me to, I’m nothing close in a lot of ways, and I’m well above and beyond because if you look at just my physical package – don’t get excited! – along with the personality that goes along with it, it’s something that has never been seen before.’
