LA Knight Says Royal Rumble Moment With Brock Lesnar Went Off Script

ByAnutosh BajpaiProfessional Wrestling Journalist

Things don’t always go as planned with LA Knight.

The former US Champion recently had an interview with Chris Van Vliet. He talked about things such as his viral fight with AJ Styles, how long he plans to continue wrestling, and more.

During the talk, the WWE star was also asked about his Royal Rumble moment with Brock Lesnar earlier in the year. LA Knight gave a cryptic answer to the question, suggesting that things didn’t exactly go as planned there:

I did. I’ll tell that story someday, but it feels too new and fresh to me. But I’ll just say things went differently than they were supposed to.

The Beast Incarnate entered the battle royal at #22 and spent about 5 minutes in the bout. He was exchanging blows with Cody Rhodes when LA Knight joined the attack. The two then worked together to eliminate the former UFC Champion.

The former NXT star did not go into details on what change he is talking about. Though there were reports that Knight was originally supposed to be working Lesnar at WrestleMania 42. So it’s possible that his story has something to do with the bout being cancelled.
