LA Knight talks meeting The Rock in 2015 and 2024.
The Rock is currently back in the midst of a run on WWE television, as he builds to his return to the ring at WrestleMania 40. One man who has drawn comparisons to The Great One has been LA Knight, despite Knight's belief that there aren't many similarities between the two.
While speaking to The Gorillia Position, Knight was asked if he has a relationship with The Rock since meeting him on the hero, noting that Rock now believes Knight 'talks like a rich man'.
"Relationship is probably overselling it a bit. I used to send emails back and forth with his manager, this is like ten years ago. I haven’t talked to them in forever. He came back in Denver, I think he was just coming in, walking into the arena, and we just kind of dapped it up, ‘good to see you.’ That was about it. This past Friday, he was walking by and he stops and talks to me and we had a conversation. Nothing super in-depth, just ‘where you living, what’s going on.’ When I met him in 2015 and was on his show, I was flat ass broke. I went to go do the show with him, I didn’t have money to pay for my bags to go do the show. Now, we’re talking about things. Now, ‘I love LA, but I don’t think I can move back. I’m staying in Orlando right now.’ He’s like, ‘Talking like a rich man.’ I was like, ‘things are a little different from last time we talked.’"
The Rock is currently set to team with Roman Reigns to take on Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes on night one of WrestleMania 40, and received a slap across the face from Rhodes on Friday's SmackDown. You can read more about that here.
Elsewhere in the same interview, Knight claimed he was told he should have raised John Cena's hand at WWE Payback 2023. You can read more about that here.
