WWE SmackDown star and a former WWE Million Dollar champion LA Knight who is also a former Impact World Heavyweight champion recently talked about his current feud with former three times WWE World Champion Bray Wyatt and discussed about it.
Knight started his professional wrestling career back in 2003 and he worked on various promotions before signing with WWE for the first time in his career back in 2013. He was still a youngster bad then and WWE did not have any vision for him. In 2014, he was let go of the promotion and he joined the Impact Wrestling as well as the independent circuit.
LA Knight Reflects On Working With Bray Wyatt
In Impact Wrestling, he was renamed as Eli Drake and he became one of the most successful stars of the promotion. He won multiple championships in Impact Wrestling including the Impact World Heavyweight Championship. In 2021 he made his return to WWE and started working on the NXT.
In a very short amount of time he became a fan favourite because of his good wrestling skill and especially because of his amazing mic skill. He is being considered as one of the best workers on the mic in WWE right now. He mostly works as a heel in the NXT and his feud with Cameron Grimes was really loved by the NXT fans.
In 2022, he made his main roster debut in a completely new gimmick where he was a renamed as Max Dupri. But after Triple H became the Head of Creative of WWE, he restored his LA Knight gimmick and soon he got involved in a feud with none other than Bray Wyatt. At the Royal Rumble pay per view event, the duo fought in a Pitch Black match where Knight faced his first defeat on the main roster.
LA Knight who is also a former Impact World Heavyweight champion recently spoke to Chris Van Vliet on Insight where he talked about his current feud with former three times WWE World Champion Bray Wyatt and discussed about it. He said;
“Well, for sure. Because look, here’s this big anticipated return. Everybody’s like, oh well Bray Wyatt is coming back, ain’t that’s special. And for me. I’m looking at LA Knight’s here, and people were worried about Bray Wyatt. That’s fine. That’s cool. I get that. But then he walks in on my territory.
“If you remember the very first interaction, I didn’t go talk to him. I didn’t go look for him. He came looking for me. So I don’t know, in a sense, it’s like, okay, well, people have this big grandiose idea of him, they think he’s amazing.
“And he’s this and he’s that, whatever he is. I’m just thinking he ain’t LA Knight. So at that point, it’s like, alright, well, I’m gonna stand here across the ring from this guy, and I’m gonna look him in the eyes, and I’m gonna be way, way bigger than him.
“And I ain’t talking physically, we’re talking figuratively in the sense that I’m going to be to a level that if he’s going to walk into my arena, I’m gonna make sure I’m the one that people remember. I want to make sure that I’m the one that people think about, I’m going to make sure that I’m the one that shines above and beyond as bright as I can.”
