Bill Apter recently spoke with WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase, who was asked if he saw greatness in LA Knight when they worked together in NXT.
“I had a great time doing that,” DiBiase said. “That whole thing was not supposed to last as long as it did. I mean, it was getting over so well, they just kept going for another week and another week.”
During his brief time with NXT, DiBiase said he saw talent in him. He said, “Obviously, I recognized the talent in him right away. I wasn’t around him enough to become buddy, buddy, but enough to know that, you know, I didn’t say it to him, but in my own head, I said, you know, it won’t be long before he goes up and then they start using him, and obviously they have.”
WWE appears to be completely behind Knight. He won the SummerSlam Slim Jim Battle Royal last month and defeated The Miz at WWE Payback. Following the match, John Cena endorsed him. There have been rumors of bigger plans for Knight as we approach 2024.
