LA Knight: ‘Whatever Happens, It Needs to Be an Upward and an Onward Trajectory, Whether That’s Championships or Whatever It Is’

Ahead of WWE SummerSlam, LA Knight appeared on “After The Bell with Corey Graves.” Knight has a lot of momentum behind him and he will be involved in the SummerSlam Battle Royal tomorrow night.

LA Knight talking about the crowd getting behind him:

“Man, I’m “Unexpected and also in a weird way expected. I don’t mean to say that in any kind of seriously arrogant way, but this is kind of what motivated me for all that time and through those lean years and through the years when I was on the outside looking in, where it was just like, you know, I know that there’s something here. I know there’s something for me to do that’s a little bit different that stands out. I can’t put my finger on exactly what it is. It’s resonating, but there’s something there and that’s really the only thing that matters. So I mean, I don’t need to pinpoint it or anything like that because at this point, it’s just been a crazy groundswell. but I also can’t get too focused on that. It’s just kind of like I gotta keep doing my thing because that’s what brought me to the dance. I gotta keep dancing.”

LA Knight talking about his catchphrases:

“For me, it’s just kind of what feels normal, what feels natural. A lot of these things, a lot of these catchphrases and stuff, a lot of this stuff is just stuff I said in normal life. ‘Yeah’, just started from me just messing around, you know, walking around saying stuff. Nobody outside of the PC knows this, but like, when I was walking around in like, 2013, I was always going like, ‘Everybody’, and everybody’s doing ‘Everybody’ back at me at the PC. It was like, just the thing. When I used to have a restaurant job, I don’t know how many of you guys have worked restaurant jobs, when you go around the corner, because you’re carrying drinks and food and stuff, you don’t want to bump into people, so you go, ‘Corner.’ For whatever reason, I didn’t want to say corner. So if I went around the corner, I’d go, ‘Everybody.’ It was just dumb stuff that I would just say that just naturally, well let’s move that in here. If I’m saying it in real life, why wouldn’t I say it here and we’ll just, you know, make it work and stuff like that.”

If he feels his wave of momentum needs to come with a championship:

“I don’t know. There’s so many different ways to go with it, but I do think that you can’t let this stagnate. So whatever happens, it needs to be an upward and an onward trajectory, whether that’s championships or whatever it is. You can’t just let this sit. That’s something on me. That’s something on everybody where you can’t just rest on your laurels and just be like, ‘Alright, well, this is just gonna be here. And all I have to do is just go out there and it’s just going to be there for me. No. Again, there has to be an evolution. There has to be something that continues to progress.”
