LA Knight, the WWE megastar, recently sat down for an interview with the Metro where he opened up about a variety of topics, including his Max Dupri character that was dropped when Triple H took over the main roster WWE creative. In the interview, Knight shared his thoughts and reactions to the character change.
When asked about his initial reaction to the change, Knight responded with enthusiasm, saying, “My reaction was F Yeah, immediately. Let’s make that happen. Because I don’t know who or what the hell Max Dupri is! Now, look, given the time, could I have done that? Could I have made it work? I’m sure I could have. Would it have ever been anything like we’re doing right now? No. Because at the end of the day, that wasn’t me. It wasn’t for me.”
Knight’s response sheds light on his lack of connection to the Max Dupri character and his belief that the change was ultimately for the best. While he acknowledges that he could have potentially made the character work, he expresses gratitude for the opportunity to explore a different persona that aligns more closely with his true self.
When asked about whether Triple H played a role in the decision to drop the Max Dupri character, Knight admitted that he wasn’t privy to all the details surrounding the change. He speculates that administrative changes and personnel movements within the company may have influenced the decision. Knight states, “You know, I don’t know all the details. But I think there were some administrative changes somewhere or other, I don’t know exactly what happened. Some things happened. People got moved around and things happen, you know?”
While Knight may not have all the answers, his willingness to embrace the change and adapt to new creative directions is a testament to his versatility as a performer. As he continues to make waves in the WWE, fans can expect to see more of the authentic LA Knight in the ring.
