The WWE Universe continues to grow louder for LA Knight with each passing week.
SmackDown Superstar LA Knight was a recent guest on Good Karma Wrestling. When asked how different WWE feels compared to other companies heās competed in over the last decade, Knight said itās a totally different playing field.
āI mean, now youāre talking about the big stage; itās just a totally different playing field,ā LA Knight said. And you guys have been watching me, and you guys have known me, and there is a little pocket of the audience thatās the same way. But for a large swathe of this audience man, Iām fresh meat.
āIām brand new to a lot of these people who never knew any of the places that I was before this. So thatās kind of the cool thing. The fact that itās not only resonating with people who knew me before but with the people who know now. And itās because ā look, I canāt put my finger on it. But as far as I can tell, as far as I can guess.
āIām just a little bit something different. Some people say itās a little bit something throwback, a little bit something new, all mixed together. And thatās exactly what it is. And so if thatās the case, and thatās grabbing peopleās attention, then hell yeah, letās keep going.ā
When asked how it makes him feel to be compared to WWE Legends like Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock, Knight said he hears all the compliments and criticisms regarding the comparisons. But at the end of the day, he will just continue being himself.
āWell, whether itās a compliment or criticism, I hear everything,ā LA Knight said. āI see everything, and look; Iāll give any criticism an honest look. But at the end of the day, Iām gonna keep doing what I do. And what I do is me; what I do is LA Knight. And if you want to make me the Kobe to their Jordan, Iāll take it. But at the end of the day, for me, itās rising above and beyond both of those guys and everybody else around.ā
