LA Knight acknowledged that his WWE crowd reactions have cooled off from their peak levels, attributing this decline to a lack of clear direction and storylines from the company. In an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Knight stated he is currently "a man without a country" without a set trajectory, but pointed to his title program with Seth Rollins and The Vision last summer as evidence that fan reactions return when he has meaningful stories to pursue. Knight believes the crowd connection remains strong and that reactions could return to previous levels if WWE provides him with better direction and storylines that fans can invest in.
LA Knight addressed eliminating Brock Lesnar from the Royal Rumble, stating that "things went differently than they were supposed to." Knight suggested that there were originally different plans involving himself and Lesnar.
LA Knight revealed that WWE originally planned to bring him to NXT in 2021 using his previous name Eli Drake, but Triple H changed the plan three days before his debut to start fresh with a new identity. Knight disclosed that WWE also considered naming him "LA Donovan" at one point, which he strongly rejected, saying it was "awful" and would have pigeonholed him into the wrong character type. The final name "LA Knight" was a collaboration between Knight (who contributed "LA") and WWE (who added "Knight"), and Knight emphasized that his character persona remained the same as what he had successfully used in TNA and NWA.
LA Knight stated in an interview with Chris Van Vliet that he feels underappreciated in the wrestling business, including WWE, despite becoming one of the company's most popular stars. The 23-year veteran said he has no plans to wrestle into his 50s and expects to "disappear into the sunset" when he retires, believing WWE hasn't positioned him for major comeback appearances like The Undertaker or Steve Austin. Knight also expressed doubt that he would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, saying "I've got a feeling that ain't going to happen either."
Seth Rollins criticized Roman Reigns for claiming he made the WWE World Heavyweight Championship relevant, calling Reigns' statements "complete bulls***" during an interview with Prince St. Pizza. Rollins had to relinquish the title due to a torn rotator cuff injury in October and was forced to watch CM Punk and Roman Reigns battle for what he considers "his title" at WrestleMania 42, with Reigns ultimately winning. Rollins is expected to win the King of the Ring tournament and face Reigns at SummerSlam.
