LA Knight stormed onto the WWE scene with a compelling debut at NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day on February 14th, 2021. His charismatic presence and undeniable talent quickly propelled him into the spotlight, making him one of the most prominent WWE Superstars today.

In a candid conversation with Inside The Ropes, LA Knight reflected on his current standing within the vast WWE machinery. He acknowledged the complexity of WWE’s structure, citing the numerous talents and intricate coordination required for the smooth operation of shows like SmackDown, Raw, and NXT. Knight remarked, “Well, it’s such a big machine, you’ve got so many moving parts and so many bodies and people to factor in. Hell, if you consider just SmackDown in and of itself, you’ve got at least, and I’m probably even undershooting this, at least 40 to 50 talents to look after.”

LA Knight believes there will be change

Despite the logistical challenges of altering long-term plans, Knight believes that there comes a point where change becomes imperative. He highlighted the need for adaptation when circumstances dictate, even within the well-established structure of WWE: “So I can understand if you want to make some plans, kind of in advance and ahead of time. And then when something like this happens, it’s almost like ‘Do I upend everything and change everything? Is this real? Is this gonna last?’ So in a way I get the trepidation. At the same time, there is a point where and I think, maybe now we’ve reached that, where you hear and you see and you understand what’s happening and realize ‘All right, there’s got to be a change of plans.'”

As fans rally behind LA Knight, anticipating his rise to greatness, speculation swirls around the upcoming trajectory of his WWE journey. With his recent surge in popularity, many supporters believe he stands at the precipice of a well-deserved push within the company. The notion of a title run has also begun to circulate among those who recognize his undeniable talent and potential.

In the dynamic realm of WWE, LA Knight’s journey unfolds against the backdrop of an intricate and ever-evolving landscape. As his presence continues to resonate, it remains to be seen how WWE will heed his call for change and whether Knight’s aspirations for an amplified role within the company will materialize in the weeks to come.
