During WWE’s Crown Jewel PLE, which took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, LA Knight suffered a scary botch. The botch left WWE fans concerned for his well-being during the event. Despite a move that did not go his way and could have seriously derailed his momentum, Knight’s response to the incident showcases his resilience and determination.
At the match, when both his opponents were fighting on the top turnbuckle, he went to jump on them. Unfortunately, his leg slipped between the ropes and he landed on it between his legs. It looked very painful and got fans worried about any potential injury.
However, the United States Champion had a different perspective on the situation. He reflected on the botch with, “That stuff happens.” Knight further added, “Instead of whining, crying, or even complaining, I am going to be in the ring, hitting that thing over and over again.”
It seems that rather than focusing on the negative part, Knight is focused on turning the setback into an opportunity for growth. He seemed to be very committed to training and wanted to perfect his in-ring skills even more. The 42-year-old added that his competitive spirit may have made him a little hotheaded about the whole thing.
LA Knight further revealed that he had suffered a minor injury. But at the end of the day, he said it was worth it because he still walked out with his title. This incident will serve as a reminder to all wrestlers that even the most skilled athletes are not immune to mistakes.
Dominance of United States Champion LA Knight
Knight is already a fan favorite and even more dominating United States champion. His fearless character has led him to issue United States title-open challenges as well. Many fans draw similarities between his title run and John Cena’s run, where he introduced the US Open Challenge.
It will be very interesting to see how things take a turn in the near future for him. It is speculated that he might miss the next episode of SmackDown and rest after Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia. There will also be updates on his injury if it has turned into a major one or not.
