LA Knight is clearly on the rise in WWE as he’s becoming one of the most popular wrestlers on the main roster over the last few months. Knight’s popularity has gotten him noticed in the wrestling world and some people have compared him to recognizable names such as Steve Austin and The Rock.
During a recent appearance on the After The Bell podcast LA Knight talked a little bit about the comparisons and he explained why he simply doesn’t think the comparisons are accurate.
“I’ve had that comparison made where people are like, ‘Oh, you know, well this is kind of like this person when they got really popular, or this person when they got very popular.’ And I don’t mean to take anything away from them, but I don’t think the comparisons fit. And the reason I say that is because everyone that they make those comparisons to, they had runs. They had runs as a champion. They had runs as, maybe they got to be a US Champion, an Intercontinental Champion, or whatever it was. And I’ve had none of that.”
LA Knight managed to pick up a big victory over the weekend when he won the SummerSlam battle royal on Saturday night. It was recently reported that Knight could be in line for a big push following SummerSlam, so it will be interesting to see what the company does with him over the next few weeks.
