LA Knight says WWE's Netflix move could open up some possibilities.
WWE's Netflix era has officially begun, as WWE Raw premiered on the streaming service on January 6th. Given Netflix's popularity, some fans have wondered whether the WWE deal could lead to some crossover between the two sides.
Speaking with Radio Times, LA Knight was asked whether he hoped that the Netflix move would open the door for more people to potentially join the business and try to become wrestlers. Knight noted that this might be possible, but wrestling was not easy to do. He also stated that the deal could potentially lead to more crossovers.
“Maybe. The only problem with that is, you have to be very committed to this. It’s not easy to do, not anybody can do it, and I think unfortunately, at times, that impression’s maybe been given, and it’s very, very difficult. One of the few who I can say has excelled and actually done a decent job at it is Logan Paul. But for the most part, this is tough to do. It’s difficult on your body, it’s difficult just in a sense of the travel. But also just kind of knowing your way in and out of the ring. So with that being the case, do I think it opens up more opportunities for that? Possibly. I think it opens up more opportunities for crossover ability, whether it’s maybe us going into their universe or them coming into our universe in some capacity. But in-ring, who knows? It really depends on how much they’re willing to put into perfecting the craft," Knight said.
