LA Knight reflects on the crowd getting behind him in 2023.
In early 2023, during his storyline with Bray Wyatt, LA Knight began to receive bigger and better reactions from the WWE audience and by the time Knight entered the Money In The Bank ladder match at the titular 2023 event, Knight was red hot with the crowds.
In a new interview with WittyWhittier, Knight spoke about this time for him, noting that he doesn't know what lead to the reactions from the audience changing as his momentum continued to grow.
"Short answer, I don't know. I really don't know. because, I mean, if you look at everything that was going on at the time when that rise really started happening, the only thing I could really attribute it to was just taking advantage of some of the time that I had when I was doing the whole deal with Bray Wyatt. But at the time, still, it was kind of like, we don't know about this guy. But it seems like once I got out of that, I didn't really have any direction. For months, there was nothing happening with me. But somehow in that time is when, oh, wait a minute. I think we kind of like this guy. I don't know what it was, but clearly I must have been making the most of my time. Because I wasn't doing a damn thing. So something was hitting. I don't know what it is, and I can't attribute it to anything."
Elsewhere in the same interview, Knight reflected on trying to start a new faction in NXT similar to The Walking Dead's Saviors. You can read more about that here.
