The Megastar LA Knight has been one of the top stars of SmackDown of 2023. He faced Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel and came close to capturing the Undisputed Universal Championship. The fastest-rising star in WWE was one of the most popular stars among the fans. However, in recent weeks, it felt like his popularity was going down after the returns of CM Punk and The Rock. Knight has now claimed that he is laser-focused ahead of the Royal Rumble.

In an interview with The West Coast, LA Knight talked about his status for the Elimination Chamber. He claimed that he was focused ahead of his match at the Royal Rumble. The Megastar added that he doesn’t care about any other superstar than him.

LA Knight while talking about his Royal Rumble match said, 
I stay laser-focused on my own thing. Maybe that’s ignorance or maybe it’s me not caring about anybody else. I have no idea what to expect as far as anybody else coming over there. All I know is that I will be at Elimination Chamber and it’s going to be a big show. At the end of the day, I’m looking at, after Royal Rumble, coming into Elimination Chamber as your WWE Champion.

Besides, Knight has been confident about his place in WWE. He has backed his claims of being a Megastar multiple times in past interviews. Moreover, he was constantly in the main event picture of SmackDown for the majority of 2023. At Royal Rumble, he will be facing AJ Styles, Randy Orton, and Roman Reigns in a Fatal 4-Way match for the Undisputed Championship.

Moreover, the 41-year-old star has been endorsed by many veterans of professional wrestling. The future is bright for the Megastar, and it looks like he will have an important road to WrestleMania. According to some rumors, he might face Logan Paul at the Show of Shows for the United States Championship.

This week’s SmackDown is set to be a go-home episode for the Royal Rumble. It is going to be the last time Roman Reigns is going to pull the shots before his match at the premier event this Saturday. In all of this, the Megastar is set to face Solo Sikoa.

The two stars have been involved in a few altercations before. Sikoa suffered a horrific defeat at the hands of Randy Orton last week. Moreover, this week, he might get his redemption after defeating Knight. The Bloodline might play an important role in the match, which might affect the dynamics of the Rumble.

The upcoming SmackDown is set to be an explosive show. In addition to Sikoa vs. Knight, Santos Escobar is also advertised to face his longtime rival, Carlito. Only time will tell how things on the Blue Brand are going to pan out ahead of a stacked Royal Rumble.
