LA Knight recently sat down for an interview with the Metro where he opened up about a variety of topics, including his Max Dupri character. Knight revealed that the character was dropped when Triple H took over the main roster WWE creative. Let’s dive into the highlights of the interview.
When asked about his initial reaction to the change, Knight responded, “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.”
It’s clear that Knight was not fully invested in the Max Dupri character and felt that it didn’t align with his true self. He expressed his enthusiasm for the change and the opportunity to showcase a character that he could fully embrace.
When asked about whether Triple H made the call for the character change, Knight admitted, “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?”
It seems that Knight is not privy to all the behind-the-scenes decisions that led to the character change, but he acknowledged that changes in the administrative structure may have played a role.
This interview sheds light on LA Knight’s perspective on the Max Dupri character and the subsequent change that occurred when Triple H took over the main roster WWE creative. It’s evident that Knight is fully committed to his current character and believes that it is a better fit for him.
