LA Knight says he feels like his WrestleMania debut earlier this year was 'business as usual'.
LA Knight has had an intense two years as he has captured the attention of WWE fans and is routinely receiving one of the loudest reactions of shows he features on, even when he's just a special guest referee.
While speaking to Mean Jean on 105.1 The Bounce to promote WrestleMania 41, Knight was asked how it felt to make his WrestleMania debut in a one on one match against AJ Styles at WrestleMania XL. Knight responded by noting that for him, it was business as usual.
"I would love to tell you yes, and it was all my childhood dreams come true and blah, blah, blah, but honestly, in hindsight, there was a little bit of that, I guess, but really at the time it was just kind of a business as usual. I'm coming in, I'm gonna go in and i'm gonna do my work and my work is going in there, getting in a 20 by 20 ring and, basically just face to face with another man, And in we go, and there's going to be some physical stuff happening in there. I mean, we were going at it we were going hard. If you remember me and AJ going there. So it's a big experience, and it was eye-opening, not just for me, but I think even in my friend and family circle, there was new fans made there. My mom, for instance, not historically a big wrestling or WWE fan, but after going to WrestleMania now, she's like, oh, my God, it's all I can think about. It was so fun, and this person showed up, and Snoop Dogg showed up, and all this stuff and everything. So, like... new fans were made that night. For me, yeah, like you said, first time out to shoot. Yeah, it was a great night. But like I said, another night at the office."
Knight would go on to defeat AJ Styles in his WrestleMania debut and is the current WWE United States Champion.
Knight is now scheduled to defend his title at WWE Crown Jewel next weekend against both Andrade and Carmelo Hayes. You can read more about that here.
