LA Knight is clearly on the rise as the WWE star is seemingly becoming more and more popular with each passing week. Knight has been getting big reactions from the fans at WWE events, but he hasn’t been as lucky when it comes to landing spots on WWE premium live events.
When it comes to premium live events LA Knight was left off WrestleMania 39, Backlash and Night of Champions. However, he did appear at Money in the Bank when he competed in the men’s Money in the Bank ladder match. During a recent interview with Good Karma Wrestling, LA Knight addressed his lack of premium live event matches and he shared his take on why he hasn’t been featured on some of the cards.
“Sure. I mean some of that, look, the roster is so stacked and full. You want the premium live event to stand out as something different than what you see on TV, so you don’t want the exact same formula. So those spots on the premium live events are limited, and so at some point, look, I’m getting the big reactions, you can’t deny that. But at the same time, I guess some people would say, ‘Well, he’s only been here nine or ten months or whatever.’ But some of that’s also just figuring out that a lot of this was unexpected.”
“A lot of this came out of the blue, so sometimes plans have to change, and that’s the way it goes. So here we are, and now you’re looking at me being an integral part of this SummerSlam coming in.”
“You got the Slim Jim battle royal, it’s 20 guys in that ring. I don’t who anybody else is in that match except me and Sheamus at this point, so all bets are off when it comes to that, but Ford Field, battle royal, you’re looking for big things and there just might be this guy’s hand raised right there. Yeah.”
