LA Knight is riding high after his triumph at NXT TakeOver: In Your House. The new Million Dollar Champion is ready to carry on Ted DiBiase’s legacy, and he won’t continue this journey without the WWE Hall of Famer.
During an appearance on Busted Open Radio, Knight explained that DiBiase will still “be around” on NXT following the coronation of a new Million Dollar Champion.
“Ted’s still gonna be around,” said Knight. “I need him, I want him to be there. I think I have a pretty big surprise coming for him. Because I owe him big time, at this point, so I definitely want to make sure he’s around. You talk about a belt with such a short list of names who have held the thing.
“So to me, for a 30-year history, with a belt that has such a short list, like that makes it so much more prestigious, puts it on another level, and I think that this is the first time that it’s been fought for on such a level. Ladder match, something like that, such a special occasion.”
Knight also praised the overall product NXT puts out every week and praised the creativity that goes into the show. He noted that the program offers something for every fan.
“I don’t want to sound like I’m here brown-nosing, doing the company thing, but if I’m honest, I think NXT’s gotta be probably the best wrestling show there is on TV right now,” said Knight. “And I think that’s because there is a little bit something for everybody, just the different creative juices that are getting moving and just the way that things work on that show. It’s next level.”
