WWE superstar LA Knight is set to get a massive push in the main roster on the coming months. Knight looks to be in good hands moving forward in the company. He is currently a part of SmackDown and is actively performing on the roster. LA Knight is a major contender to win the Money In The Bank match this year, which takes place in London.

LA Knight was a highlight of the show during his days in NXT. He made his main roster debut in 2022. As usual for an NXT call-up, LA Knight went through a massive character change when he came up to the main roster under Vince McMahon. He started going by Max Dupri, who was more of a fashion icon and introduced The Maximum Male Models.

WWE later dropped the gimmick as Maxxine Dupri, Knight’s on-screen sister, took over the Models. LA Knight returned to his NXT gimmick under Triple H, which was already famous among fans. Knight’s not being a part of this year’s Mania match card shocked many fans. The self proclaimed megastar has been a fan favorite in recent times.
