LA Knight tries to meet WWE in the middle.
During LA Knight's rise to stardom in WWE, he became a fan-favorite with his promo skills. He has continued to shine since he won the WWE United States Championship at WWE SummerSlam.
Speaking with SPORTbible, LA Knight discussed being authentic, especially with his promos, and he noted that he sometimes gets himself in trouble because he works off the cuff. However, he stated that the company trusts him.
"Sometimes I get myself in trouble because I like to work a little more off the cuff and sometimes they [WWE management] like a little structure. I try to meet them in the middle on that and for me, I want to listen and react instead of thinking of all this prefab. It didn't feel right to me. If I want to be as authentic as I can be and connect with everybody out there, I need to listen. Instead of going out there pre-planned, just being able to be authentically me has been a godsend. Sometimes I have to meet them in the middle but for the most part, they're like, 'We'll let you do your thing but just don't push it,'" Knight said.
Knight recently discussed his success and said that he's hungry for more. Check out his comments here.
