LA Knight is ready for the men’s ladder match at WWE Money In The Bank 2023.

YEAH!

So, let him talk to ya for a minute!

The WWE Superstar continues to make the media rounds to promote Saturday’s show at the O2 Arena in London, England, and during a recent Fightful interview, LA Knight spoke about a time when WWE wasn’t taking his calls.

“Weโ€™re talking over ten years ago when they werenโ€™t returning my calls,” Knight said. “Thereโ€™s a whole bunch of stuff there, but eventually I was able to knock that door down, walk myself in, walk myself right back out after a year, went all over the world, did my own thing, came back and stronger than ever. Here we are, burning down the world. All around the world, itโ€™s the same song. How does that song go? [Mimes LA Knight theme intro]. Yeah!”

He continued, talking about how he finally secured a spot in NXT during the pandemic.

“Hell, I donโ€™t even remember,” he said. “It was during the pandemic, so weโ€™re talking three years ago. At some point it was like, โ€˜What are the odds I can get something together while this pandemic is happening?โ€™ I donโ€™t know, I have to figure that Iโ€™m on the back end of my career and I have to make whatever little money I can wherever. At some point, an overture was made, โ€˜Hey, thereโ€™s an opportunity.โ€™ Boom, letโ€™s do it, letโ€™s run.”
