The rivalry between AJ Styles and LA Knight is breaking all the barriers of sanity. Both superstars have been looking to destroy each other for months now. The Phenomenal One got the psychological advantage over The Megastar, as he cost him a title opportunity at Elimination Chamber. Now, Styles has finally explained his actions on the Blue brand.
On the latest episode of SmackDown, Styles explained the reason behind costing Knight the title opportunity in a video package. He stated that the 41-year-old is a loudmouth who has achieved almost nothing in his career. Styles further added that he is the perfect man for a job to teach him a lesson.

Knight gave an obvious reaction to Styles’ constant rumbling and destroyed a TV with a steel chair. Their rivalry goes way back to when Knight decided to “steal” the opportunity to fight for the title. Moreover, he did not worry about the Bloodline brutally attacking Styles for his selfish reasons. The Phenomenal One made his return, tapping into his darker side, and the rivalry continued even after they failed to win the title at the Royal Rumble.
Let me break it down, so you and LA Knight can understand it. You are an overachieving, under-talented loud mouth who desperately needs a humbling. And I am a phenomenal choice for the job.AJ Styles on SmackDown
They both cost each other the opportunity to fight for the titles by interfering during their pivotal matches. Although it’s not official, the WWE Universe speculates that both superstars will meet each other at WrestleMania. It will be interesting to see the buildup between them, as the Show of Shows is right around the corner.
LA Knight talks about the changes he felt under the new Triple H era in WWE
When Vince McMahon initially resigned from the position as chairman in July 2022, his son-in-law, Triple H, took command. Many fans, WWE superstars, and employees have noticed a sudden change in the environment within the company. In light of that, LA Knight has revealed the changes they felt under Hunter’s regime.

Knight spoke on the Gorilla Position podcast and stated that things are looking better than they had been for years. He stated that the major difference is the attendance, as it is obvious that Triple H has done an amazing job with the product. The WWE Universe is very excited to see the talent of the superstars and the potential they have.
I mean personally, gigantic differences. At the same time, I'm sure some people are very happy with the changes, but some people are not very happy with the changes. But I would say overall I've noticed that drastic difference just alone in the attendance. Every arena now has been full.LA Knight on Triple H via Gorrila Position podcast

The 41-year-old started his main roster career in one of the most bizarre ways when he was a part of Maximum Male Models. However, he stepped out of their shadow and has now become one of the most popular stars in the entire company. Fans are excited to see what Knight accomplishes in 2024 as his journey continues with a possible match against AJ Styles at WrestleMania.
