LA Knight says that winning a championship is necessary to him.
For the past number of months, Knight has been on a special run in WWE, receiving a level of fan support that most wrestlers could only dream of. Many fans would even argue that Knight is one of the most popular guys in all of WWE.
In a recent interview with ReviewSTL, Knight was asked if he thinks that winning a championship during his current run is necessary for things to come full circle.
“It’s necessary for me. People might have different philosophies of whether it’s necessary for you to be popular. No, maybe it’s not necessary to be popular but for me, to be where I want to be and do what I want to do, I think it’s very necessary because you can’t be in those conversations as far as who’s the best now or maybe even possibly all time unless you’ve held those titles. So, is it necessary from a popularity standpoint? Maybe not, but is it necessary for me and what I want to accomplish? Yeah.”
In recent weeks, Knight has been eyeing a shot at the United States Championship, competing in various number one contendership matches.
Elsewhere in a separate interview, Knight said that The Miz got the best reaction of his entire career when he dressed up as Knight on a recent episode of Raw. Fans can learn more by clicking here.
