LA Knight has become one of the most talked about wrestlers in WWE today, but not all of the talk is positive. Recently WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash made headlines when he criticized LA Knight on his podcast and accused him of ripping off The Rock and Steve Austin.
Shawn Michaels recently spoke to Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Riju Dasgupta about Kevin Nash’s comments, and reminded the wrestling world that everyone is allowed to have an opinion while also taking the time to praise LA Knight.
“Kevin Nash has always given his opinion on stuff. Dare I say, so does Sportskeeda and every website out there. You guys got opinions on lots of people. Every wrestling fan does. You’re absolutely allowed to have them, as Kevin’s allowed to have his. We can all agree or respectfully disagree. I don’t know that LA Knight has any problem with what Kevin Nash says or anybody else.”
“I know him [LA Knight] as somebody that we very much enjoyed working with here in NXT. Nobody’s happier to see him thriving and doing well on the main roster more than I am, and so we here at NXT are very proud of all the men and women that got brought up in the draft. Obviously very excited about that. It speaks well of NXT, and it speaks well of what the Performance Center has done for the WWE.”
Kevin Nash has since apologized for his comments saying that he doesn’t watch SmackDown often, and didn’t know who LA Knight was. One way or another there seem to be a lot of people in the wrestling world that are paying attention to LA Knight, so it will be interesting to see where he goes from here.
