LA Knight discusses a faction he pitched while in NXT.
While Knight has become a top star on the WWE main roster and consistently garnered one of the top reactions each week, while in NXT he would remain a part of the brands mid card, and it looks like Knight wanted to begin his own faction on the brand.
While speaking to WittyWhitter in a recent interview, LA Knight reflected on pitching a 'Saviors from The Walking Dead' like faction where the leader brought the other members to prominence.
"I had thought about this before, actually. I pitched this a few years ago, where i was like, I kind of want guys who are almost downtrodden, who have a lot of potential, but haven't really been used necessarily to the top of the potential. I don't know who those would be now, I think I had names years ago when I was in NXT because I almost wanted to have this... you could say cult. But I was almost thinking of, this was back thinking about like The Walking Dead, like The Saviors or something. One guy at the front, and then there's a lot of guys who are just like, 'all right, wait, this guy is going to be able to get me what I want. I will do anything for him.' Kind of an idea. Other than that, I haven't really put much thought into it, but I mean, if you were going to do like a big three, Miami Heat LeBron super team or something like that, you know, probably, I don't know, me and Cody and Roman or something."
Knight is currently a member of Friday Night SmackDown, but has had promos made for WWE RAW's Netflix debut.
Knight recently revealed at a WWE live event he had been in a 'fender bender' prior to the show in Baltimore. You can read more about that here.
