WWE Star Recalls ‘Pretty Wild’ NXT Angle

WWE

LA Knight made his way up to the main roster earlier this year after spending just a year on the NXT brand.

Knight’s time in NXT was overall pretty short, but he was a part of many great rivalries 0n the show.

The most notable being his feud with Cameron Grimes last year, which saw Ted DiBiase make several appearances on NXT television.

Knight ended up capturing the Million Dollar Championship during the rivalry, before Grimes ultimately won it from him to end the rivalry.

LA Knight spoke about the feud to USA Insider, saying that being able to be Million Dollar Champion was ‘crazy’.

He said:

“I mean bringing back Ted Dibiase’s Million Dollar Championship … I mean that’s crazy! It’s a championship that only what, maybe five or six guys in total have ever held and now you’re being told that it’s going to be introduced and up for grabs — that was pretty wild.

“Then you go into the fall and the winter and all of a sudden the crowd is starting to jump on my side. It was just a good, amazing ride. It was quick, it was only a year, but man, “NXT” is something I’m going to remember for a long time.”

When he eventually made it up to the main roster, LA Knight was rebranded as Max Dupri, forming the Maximum Male Models.

Knight is currently butting heads with Bray Wyatt on SmackDown, recently being confronted by Uncle Howdy.
