LA Knight has become a star by being authentic, but he says it sometimes gets him into a little bit of trouble.
Speaking with SPORTbible, LA Knight opened up about his authenticity. He noted that, sometimes working “a little more off the cuff” can get him in trouble.
“Sometimes I get myself in trouble because I like to work a little more off the cuff and sometimes they [WWE management] like a little structure,” Knight said. “I try to meet them in the middle on that and for me, I want to listen and react instead of thinking of all this prefab. It didn’t feel right to me. If I want to be as authentic as I can be and connect with everybody out there, I need to listen. Instead of going out there pre-planned, just being able to be authentically me has been a godsend.”
Knight noted that sometimes, he does have to find ways to meet everyone in the middle, but that he’s earned the trust of those backstage at WWE.
“Sometimes I have to meet them in the middle but for the most part, they’re like, ‘We’ll let you do your thing but just don’t push it!'” Knight said.
