LA Knight looks forward to the future, as he says that you never know where he could go now that he has won the WWE United States Championship.
At WWE SummerSlam, Knight beat Logan Paul to win the WWE United States Championship. This marked his first title win on the main roster.
Speaking with Mail Sport, LA Knight commented on his victory and noted that it was a great stepping-off point.
“Now, with the US Championship and walking into SummerSlam, you never know where that could lead,” Knight said. “And when you’re talking about the WWE Championship, World Heavyweight Championship, this and that, this is a hell of a stepping-off point. Picking up the US title, there’s not that question anymore of, “ah, it this my spot? Do I belong here?” For damn sure, I belong.”
LA Knight On Title Win
LA Knight was also asked to discuss his reaction to his title win and whether he felt like it should have come sooner.
“There was definitely a point last year where I felt like now was probably the right time to make it happen. There’s no real way to know what’s right or wrong. But at this point, whether it was late or on time, it feels right. I think, whether it happened last year or this time, the onus was on me to prove that I could stay afloat and remain as popular as I have for the last year, I think that that was really weird. I don’t know what it is about me, and maybe it’s with everybody, or maybe it’s just me because of how quickly things happened and picked up.
“The popularity grew last year, and there was a lot of thought about whether it would last or if it was just a flash in the pan. You’ve heard those promos—flash in the pan, flavour of the month, etc. I think there was some genuine concern about that, to the point where it was like, “Alright, well, we pulled the trigger on this guy, and if things flounder, what do we do?” Well, guess what? Nothing ever floundered. Yes, things ebb and flow, they go up and down. But as things cooled off a little bit in the winter of early 2024, all of a sudden, boom! We get into the spring and summer, and things are bigger, super bigger, and on track more than they’ve ever been.”
