LA Knight is indeed one of the most famous and stars in WWE right now and he is really over with the fans. He is one of the examples of the wrestling world that one can earn success by their hard work and by getting over with the fans. Since Vince McMahon is gone, anyone can become a star under Triple H’s shelter with true dedication.
Knight was never meant to be a top star in WWE. Even when he was in the NXT, he was nothing but a lower mid card. After joining the main roster, Vince McMahon did not think he could even be a professional wrestler at the stage of the career he was in. So he repackaged as Max Dupri; a manager for two jobbers.
How Did LA Knight Get Over With The Fans? Explained By The Megastar
After Triple H got in charge of the creative, he gave him back his LA Knight gimmick but Triple H was not valuing him anything more than a lower mid card. But with time, Knight proved everyone wrong and got really over with the fans. Recently, ‘The Megastar’ spoke with "WittyWhitter" where he explained how he became really famous among the fans;
LA Knight joined the main roster of WWE in 2022
"I really don't know, because if you look at everything that was going on at the time when that rise really started happening, the only thing I could really attribute it to was just taking advantage of some of the time that I had when I was doing the whole deal with Bray Wyatt. But at the time, still it was kind of like, we don't know about this guy."
LA Knight is a former WWE United States Champion
After the rise of Knight, one thing that everyone can see that under Triple H, there is hope for all. Everyone can be top stars if they get over with the fans, unlike Vince McMahon’s time, who even punished wrestlers for getting more over with the fans than he planned. Rusev was one of the biggest examples of it.
Knight received a very strong push after becoming famous as he won big matches like a victory over AJ Styles at WrestleMania 40 and the achievement of his career so far was winning the WWE United States Championship at Summerslam 2024. Knight is still going strong and we can expect him to earn more success in the future.
