LA Knight has commented on the possibility of facing Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40.
Knight will be one of the stars competing in the World Heavyweight Title #1 contender’s Elimination Chamber match on February 24.
The popular star punched his ticket to Elimination Chamber 2024 on Monday’s (February 12) edition of Raw, defeating Ivar in a qualifying match.
In a WWE Digital Exclusive interview following Raw, LA Knight noted that he wants fans to save the congratulations for after he wins the Elimination Chamber match and becomes the #1 contender to Rollins’ title.
Vowing to dethrone Seth Rollins, Knight said:
“Let me talk to ya. There have been a little bit too many congratulations coming my way in the last few months, let’s just be honest.
“Everybody’s been talking about, ‘You know what, LA Knight, he’s come outta nothing, and all of a sudden he’s this big star. Some would say a megastar’, and they’d be right. Yeah!
“But here’s the thing man, what do I really have to hang my hat on at this point? What do I have to sink my teeth into yet? 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 with me up there rubbing elbows, but let’s just go ahead and call it what it is.
“You’re talking about a man who came from, we’ll say, feeble expectations, and making it all the way to the top of the damn industry, and people wanna give me congratulations for that.
“Nah nah! Save the congratulations, give me the congratulations when I walk out of Elimination Chamber the #1 contender for that World Heavyweight Championship, and then, congratulate me two times when we get to WrestleMania and I take it off of Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins.
“Nice middle name you got there pal, but what you’re gonna call yourself after that, is ‘former champion’. Because right now you’re looking at the future champion.
“See, right now you got five other guys walking into Perth, walking into Elimination Chamber all gonna get dropped, dropped, dropped, each one of them dropped on their head BFT style, because that’s the only way it can go down.”
