LA Knight has recalled setting goals immediately after joining WWE, considered one of which happened just a couple of months into his WWE profession.
Knight’s WWE journey began in “WWE NXT” in 2021, and just a couple of months in, he was in a storyline with Cameron Grimes and WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase, who brought back the Million Dollar Championship to WWE television, which Knight won.
“Once I first signed back in 2021, I began writing out a bunch of goals and things that I desired to do, you recognize, 12 months one, 12 months two, 12 months three, 12 months 4, 12 months five. I did the primary five years of what I desired to do and 12 months one I had hit a goal that I didn’t even know was a possible goal. Who was going to think that the Million Dollar Championship can be there? All these things with Ted DiBiase. In order that was just, I mean, crazy, crazy awesome,” said Knight during his recent interaction on “The Wrestling Classic.”
The “WWE SmackDown” also divulged some information in regards to the viewership numbers for his segments with Grimes and DiBiase, disclosing that they were the one segments on “NXT” that were beating AEW when the 2 went head-to-head.
“I mean, on top of that, we were also doing one of the best numbers on the show each week. I believe we were still going head-to-head with AEW, and we were, between Cameron Grimes, myself, and Ted DiBiase, our segments, I believe, were the one ones that were beating the competition during that point,” he revealed. “So, you recognize, with that in mind, you could not have asked for a greater setup in that regard. I believe it really helped type of get me going and rolling along.”
He added that winning the Million Dollar Championship was a “big deal” in his initial run in WWE and “NXT.”
