[@joemckim1183]

@@Theshortyjudge If they did a #1 contendership for IC Title in one of the Elimination Chamber matches it would set a great way for Knight to win the IC title at WM. But that probably means he'll have to come to the Raw roster.

[@billybatson22]

Tell you what makes this extra special for fans of CCV and his show. There is a history of interviews where he put on guys like LA Knight and gave him a platform when he had NOTHING. I remember the video sometime during the pandameic where LA was floundering a bit, he had come off surgery for his voice, etc. and now look what happened! Glad to see LA Knight doesn't forget that about CVV!

LA Knight makes wrestling fun again

[@TheSkidify]

LA Knight just seems like the guy who never stops betting on himself. Some people might see this as overconfidence, or cockiness, but he knows what he's worth, and he never stops trying to get what he deserves which IMO is the world.

[@sanjaimathewmampala4904]

His confidence is too good. Damn Vince for almost destroying his career.

[@bobateaboy04]

the difference is there are two types of overconfidence like the negative obnoxious kind and the chill kind and Knight is the latter. He seems like a cool person to have a conversation with

[@ΠαναγιώτηςΓεωργίου-β4β]

Knight admitted that he is an introvert. As an introvert myself Im getting encouraged

[@LewisCampbellTech]

I remember checking out WWE again randomly, on a whim, about this time last year. Saw this guy walk out to near silence, but his confidence and mannerisms and everything just screamed "star". Was so great seeing him get more and more popular in 2023. Screw The Rock, Punk, Orton, and Codys Story. I want this guy to win the big one.

LA Knight is such a throwback character like Austin and Rock. Dude is charismatic as all hell and pretty solid in the ring. I have no doubt he will become World Champion in the future but first I would like he to become US Champion, He can beat Logan Paul at WrestleMania 40. Then eventually he can go back after a World Championship. That’s not an insult that’s just a fact of life YEAH!

[@joemckim1183]

He'll get his 2ndPPV main event at Royal Rumble so he's definitely on the way. We gotta remember that Austin after the Austin 3:16 speech didn't win the WWE title for another 21 months.

[@stevenjoseph6048]

I definitely think LA Knight will beat Logan at Mania for the US title. As he said in the interview, he can use it as a springboard to be the guy.
