WWE United States Champion LA Knight says he goes into fight mode when he comes to the ring.
LA Knight won his first title on the main roster when he beat Logan Paul for the WWE United States Championship at WWE SummerSlam.
Speaking on DISH Studio, LA Knight was asked to comment on what it felt like to walk around backstage as a champion.
“I’ll go in and I’ll come out, my music will play, I’ll come out to the ring, I’ll say my piece, and in the back, people will be like, ‘Why do you come off so angry? You’re the champion. What’s going on?’” Knight said. “I’m like, I don’t know, there’s something about it, when I get here and I think about this and I think about everything that I’ve gone through to get here and I think about everything I need to continue to do to keep this going, there’s just this fight mode that comes in, and I get in almost this angry state of mind, where I show up and I’ve got that game face on.
“So things come out a little bit rough. So it’s tough for me to even take that stance, of like, ‘Look at this, this is great, this is wonderful.’ I’m still just like, ‘Everybody stay away, or you will get some.’ I can’t help myself.”
