LA Knight is one of the top stars in WWE right now and had a great showing on Monday Night RAW this week. Following the show, Knight told fans not to congratulate him after his win.
As seen on this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW, LA Knight squared off against Ivar in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match. After a lot of back and forth action, the Megastar reigned supreme.
While speaking on Raw Talk, LA Knight acknowledged congratulations for his recent success but asserted that true accolades would be warranted when he secures the world title at WrestleMania 40. Therefore, he told fans not to congratulate him until he’s a World Champion.
“Let me talk to ya. There’ve been a little bit too many congratulations coming my way the last few months. Let’s be honest, everybody’s been talking about, ‘You know what, LA Knight, he’s come out of nothing, and all of a sudden, he’s this big star. Some would say a megastar.’ They’d be right. Yeah. Here’s the thing. What do I really have to hang my hat on yet at this point? What do I have to just sink my teeth into yet? I’d say you’ve got a big fat goose egg.”
“Did I win the Slim Jim Battle Royal? Yeah. Have I become pretty much the biggest star running today? Maybe some would argue there’s a couple others up there with me, rubbing elbows. But let’s just go ahead and call it what it is. You’re telling about a man who came from feeble expectations and making it all the way to the top of the damn industry. People want to give me congratulations for that. Nah nah.“
“Save the congratulations. Give me the congratulations when I walk out of Elimination Chamber the number one contender for that World Heavyweight Championship, and then congratulate me two times when I get to WrestleMania and I take it off of Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins.”
We will have to wait and see how LA Knight will fare in the Men’s Elimination Chamber match at the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event on February 24th, as fans would love for him to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania 40.
