LA Knight and AJ Styles\' rivalry will come to a head this weekend at WrestleMania 40. Before he and Styles clash on the \'Grandest Stage of Them All\' this weekend, Knight spoke with Jim Varsallone and gave an overview of what fans can expect from the match.
Knight was uncharacteristically tempered when setting expectations for the match. When asked if he and Styles would steal the show, the former Million Dollar Champion said all the pieces are in place for them to make history.
\"Man, look, I don’t want to throw those kind of predictions out there, you never know,\" Knight said \"I don’t want to promise anything like that, but AJ’s a stud, I’m a stud. There’s a lot of tension going into this match, there’s a lot of animosity.
There’s a lot of energy going into this match. So for damn sure, it could be, as the kids say, a banger. Will it be a show-stealer? I don’t know. Maybe. We’ll let history decide that one, but you can bet your ass it’s gonna be a good one.\
LA Knight and AJ Styles\' WrestleMania Feud
Tensions between the two began to brew ahead of the 2024 Royal Rumble, when Styles unleashed a surprising attack on the brash Superstar. The following week, Styles claimed that Knight \"stepped over [his] dead body\" to secure a tag team match alongside John Cena at WWE Fastlane.
Fueled by his desire for revenge, Styles later ambushed Knight with a steel chair in the 2024 Men\'s Elimination Chamber match, subsequently causing him to be eliminated.
With his shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship dashed, \"The Megastar\" fixed his attention solely on AJ Styles. After several more weeks of fighting, WWE then confirmed that the Knight-Styles feud will now culminate at WrestleMania 40.
