You never know who might show up when you watch WWE programming, and on Sunday night former Impact World Champion Eli Drake arrived in NXT under the name LA Knight.
LA Knight’s appearance at NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day got the wrestling world talking, and now everyone is waiting to see how he will fit into the mix.
During a media call after the event Triple H addressed LA Knight’s arrival, and he said that there is no ceiling for Knight.
“I don’t think there’s a ceiling on anybody. When they walk in the door, I kind of evaluate everybody as they’re walking in the door. My hope is that all of them have the potential at one point in time to garner whatever they need to become as big of a performer as they can be here.
“I’ve been a fan of his since he was here the first time and there’s a lot of reasons — on his side and our side — as to why that didn’t work out that time, but I was always a fan of his then, I was a fan of his work, his promo skills, and everything else as he went along his journey. I’ve always thought when the time was right, he would do great here. The time was right and phone calls were made, and interest was [there] on both sides and it just went from there. It was smooth and easy. He wants to be in a place where he can have the biggest platform in the world, that’s here, and I want to give it to him. So we’re going to run with it, and see where we can go. There is no ceiling.”
