WWE SmackDown star and a former WWE Million Dollar champion LA Knight who is also a former Impact World champion recently talked about his current on going feud with Bray Wyatt and explain how it was a new experience. He also talked about his run in the NXT.
LA Knight spent a long time on the independent circuit and other professional wrestling promotions before joining WWE in 2021. He had a short tenure in WWE back in 2008 where he was mostly treated as a jobber. But he was why to a big sensation on the independent circuit.
LA Knight Discusses His Recent Feud With Bray Wyatt
His Impact Wrestling run which started in 2015 and lasted for 4 years had been pretty impressive. He had been presented as a main event start in Impact as he won multiple championships including the Impact World Championship one time.
In 2021 he signed with WWE and started working on the NXT which was the development territory of WWE. He mostly worked as a heel in the NXT and he became a big attraction because of his amazing mic skill.
The only title he held in the NXT was the Million Dollar Championship which was extremely rare. During this time, his feud with Cameron Grimes became quite famous. In 2022 he made his main roster debut under a completely new gimmick called Max Dupri.
But the gimmick was not very well received by the fans and after Triple H became the Head of Creative of WWE, he decided to restore him into his previous LA Knight gimmick. Once again his excellent mic skill was loved by the fans. His first major feud in the main roster was with none other than Bray Wyatt.
The feud was not very well received at first but as time passed, it slowly became quite exciting. At Royal Rumble, the duo faced each other in a Pitch Black match where Wyatt picked up the victory. Knight really did an amazing job in this feud and we hope he has a great future lying ahead of himself in WWE.
LA Knight who is also a former Impact World champion recently spoke to Yahoo where he talked about his current on going feud with Bray Wyatt and explain how it was a new experience. He also talked about his run in the NXT. He said;
“Working with Wyatt is a unique challenge in the sense that you’ve got two diametrically opposed personalities. You have two very different approaches to what we do and in a strange way, it almost brings together a beautiful symphony so to speak, just because of the contrasting way we do things.
“At the same time, those contrasting pieces can mesh together into something that’s pretty creatively satisfying and so far so good. I think it’s pretty clear [who attacked me]. Look at all the little symbols and the Fiend masks and that kind of stuff. As far as I can tell, that seems to be all along his lines. It seems to fit his M-O.
“In a strange way, a lot of the changes are more of the same for me. You look and it’s a lot of the same people I was working with in NXT and working with Triple H. Again, this is taking me back to NXT so in a weird way, the more it changes, the more it stays the same. I think the change has been smooth, it’s been good and you can see the little bit of evolution through the process, but so far, I’m very happy with the way things are going in that regard.
“NXT was a fun and wild ride. Obviously this was my second time around. The first time, I butted heads with the former head coach, but now coming back this time around, it was just a better understanding of each other and who I was and who I was working with I guess to some degree. This time things were just streamlined and it made the process in NXT really good and flourish creatively if you will!”
