LA Knight is one title short of being a Grand Slam Champion In TNA.
Before LA Knight signed with WWE, he had a successful run in TNA/IMPACT, as he held the World Championship, the World Tag Team Championship, and the King of the Mountain Championship. Since WWE started working with TNA, fans have wondered whether Knight could potentially cross over to TNS, as other WWE stars have. This speculation has ramped up since WWE and TNA announced an official partnership on January 16th.
Speaking on Casual Conversations with the Classic, LA Knight was asked to comment on the partnership and potentially crossing over to TNA.
“I mean, I don’t know of any plans to do so. I guess never say never. At the same time, my thoughts are it’s about five years too late [smiles]. It should have happened when I was there. Then we could have done crossover stuff [laughs]. But yeah, I don’t know. It’s kind of cool, it’s unprecedented. Even though I would say TNA has been a distant number two for a long time, they were still a number two, they were a threat for a little bit, at least in the 2010s, in the early 2010s maybe. With that being the case, I think it’s really just crazy to fathom the idea that now there’s a working partnership. It’s just kind of another example of how the landscape of the industry’s changed. We’re leading the way in that regard," Knight said.
Knight was then asked to look back on winning the world title in TNA, and he noted that he was one title short of being a Grand Slam Champion in the company. He jokingly said that he could get there if he targeted the TNA X-Division Championship.
“When you ask about it now, you’re talking about this partnership, I’m only one title short of a triple crown there. So if I can get back in there and get that X-Division Title [laughs]. I’m sorry, I was a triple crown. Wait a minute. I was King of the Mountain, I was World Champion and Tag Team Champions with Scott Steiner. So I guess I could be a Grand Slam Champion if I go. Grand Slam is what I’m talking about [laughs]," Knight said.
