“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,” Knight recalled. “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.”

"The Megastar" is heavily rumoured to keep his upper mid card position intact as he still remains one of the most popular stars of WWE, and he rightfully deserves everything he is achieving.
