“I’ve had attempts on my career. And what I mean by that is people trying to kill my career, you know, so there’s a lot of there’s a lot of anger. There’s a lot of frustration, but there’s also a lot of vindication at this point. Some of that anger still so that hate letter to wrestling is still enough. It’s my biggest love and my biggest frustration.

I almost need the negativity push up against in some strange way where it’s like if things are going too well I’m almost just like I think I lost my edge.”

LA Knight will also compete in the Money In The Bank ladder match at the event on July 1st, which is the biggest opportunity in his career so far. We will have to wait and see if Knight will be able to become Mr. Money In The Bank.
