WWE star LA Knight recently appeared on an episode of Busted Open Radio, where he talked about a number of topics including AJ Styles.
Knight said, “He is really, really good. He’s been everywhere. He’s done everything. … You’re looking at two very different styles, and to put those together — look, who knows how it’s going to come out? But I’m pretty sure — I don’t see how it doesn’t come out good.”
On whether WWE pushed him too fast:
“That’s not to look a gift horse in the mouth. Jumping straight up to the WWE Championship back at Crown Jewel was a little fast to where I almost worried that it might make people go, … ‘They’re not gonna shove him down our throat like this, are they?’ There is that potential.”
On his feud with Styles:
“In a certain way, appreciative. In a certain way also, feeling vindicated, and in a certain way feeling like it’s long overdue. In this regard at the same time, I also have to consider that it’s the exact right time… Look, a lot of people are like ‘It should be for a championship’ and should be this and should be that, but man, it is what it is. Now, you’re talking about a hell of a spot to be in, and I’m not crying.”
On his position in WWE:
“I think about a year from now and who knows what that holds? Who knows? I could flatline and just everything dies and I just am in the exact same spot or it could just shoot to the moon again. All I can do is not focus on that, not worry about that. You want to stay hot, you want to stay fresh, but you don’t want to be trying too hard.”
