Top star LA Knight says he’s moving on from former two-time WWE Champion AJ Styles ahead of WWE SmackDown.
Since returning to WWE in December 2023, AJ Styles has been feuding with LA Knight after feeling like the self-proclaimed “Megastar” stepped over his injured body to get a shot at Roman Reigns.
The two men were part of the Fatal Four Way Match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship that also involved Randy Orton and was won by Reigns at the Royal Rumble 2024.
On the February 9 edition of SmackDown, Drew McIntyre defeated Styles to qualify for the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match thanks to a distraction from Knight. However, Knight beat Ivar to qualify himself on the February 12 episode of WWE Raw.
Appearing on the latest edition of WWE’s The Bump, LA Knight stated that he was moving on from AJ Styles. He said:
“I don’t have a damn thing to say to him, personally. We had our thing that led us into the Royal Rumble in the 4-Way.”
“A lot of people would say that was my match and I’d agree. Bottom line is I should have come out champion there, but that’s alright,”
“AJ has done this thing where since he came back, he whined and cried and complained.”
“People are stepping over him, he’s a dead body, this, that, whatever. In all honesty, I wish he would have gotten that win last week because then, at least, he would have had one less thing to complain about.”
“As far as I’m concerned, I wish him luck. Hopefully, he goes on and does some big things. For me, I’m looking forward to Elimination Chamber. Not looking in the rearview mirror at this point.”
