LA Knight talks the WWE-TNA partnership.
Before leaving TNA in 2019, LA Knight, then known as Eli Drake, was quite successful as a peformer in the singles and tag team divisions. Knight has followed up on the singles success since arriving to WWE in 2021, winning the Million Dollar Championship and the United States Championship.
While appearing for a new interview with the Battleground podcast, LA Knight joked about the partnership being too late before teasing that the possibilities are endless with the two promotions working together.
“I feel like it’s a few years too late. This thing should’ve happened when I was there [laughs]. It’s unprecedented. I know WWE’s had partnerships with All Japan, ECW, and stuff like that, but this is so different in a way because TNA, although it was a very distant second place for a long time back in the 2010s and whatnot, it was still the only real competition for a long time. So now to take one of those companies and to partner up, it’s like such forbidden fruit in a sense. It’s pretty crazy to see and then also, just the idea that now some of their people can come up and show up on our TV, some of our people can show up on their TV. It’s clearly only mutually beneficial because then everybody wants to know what are the possibilities going to be.”
