LA Knight has become one of the top names in the business in the past year after ditching his Max Dupri gimmick. The Breakout Superstar of the Year is a throwback from the “Attitude Era” and the fans have recognized that, welcoming him with massive pop everywhere he goes.
Following his monumental WrestleMania 40 win against AJ Styles, the Megastar made a fan’s special day even more special with his presence. In a video posted on social media by WWE fan Derek Baker, LA Knight is seen meeting him outside an airport. Derek understandably could not contain his excitement as he hugged the smiling WWE superstar.
The duo and Derek’s family boarded a bus together where LA Knight learned about how he spent his WrestleMania weekend. To make the fan’s 27th birthday unforgettable, LA Knight clicked a selfie with him, leaving a memory for a lifetime.
The original post caption reads, “Thanks for being so kind, LA Knight! You made Derek’s birthday sooo special!” After making the fan’s day, it is time for LA Knight to make his own day as he is poised to continue his meteoric rise to greater heights.
LA Knight set for WrestleMania 40 rematch
After beating Bobby Lashley and Santos Escobar in a triple-threat match last week on WWE SmackDown, LA Knight set up a rematch with AJ Styles. The bad blood between the two will continue this week as well, with the rivals locked in for a WrestleMania rematch. But the stakes are higher than ever as the winner will face Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
AJ Styles, while talking to Ringer, hinted at his impending retirement and the former champion will surely want to fulfil his pre-retirement plan. This match against LA Knight presents him with the exact opportunity and a unique career feat if he faces Cody Rhodes. But knowing LA Knight, it is safe to say that he will surely want to spoil those plans and repeat his WrestleMania success to keep his Yeah movement going.
