The Knight admits that it needed ‘a little reconstruction’ after the setbacks against Roman Reigns, the first reign of the American title

The knight meteoric increase in 2023 is a success story, no doubt. The Superstar of the wwe, the real name of Shaun Ricker, had to overcome numerous challenges at the beginning of his career, including the detachment of a zipped trick, to reach the heights he made two years ago.

Knight was one of The most popular acts of wwe At the end of 2023 and early 2024. John Centlane joined and challenged Roman reigns twice for the wwe universal universal championship. Reigns backed up countless challengers during his legendary reign of the 1,316 days title. Knight brushes with Reigns are not necessarily a failure, but admits that not everyone comes out of a fight with the bloodline for better.

“I think it took me in different directions,” Knight told CBS Sports. “Optically, in a way, he raised me. It also delayed me a bit where I had to do some reconstruction in the winter and spring last year. I think that is by virtue of how it was installed and how it was done. Finally, Crown Jewel was a good payment, so that was quite good.”

Knight’s victory over the United States champion Logan Paul in Summerslam 2023 was moving. Knight, promoted by the support of fans and the endless sand, captured his first wwe title on the main list of the wwe in 41. Unfortunately, his reign of later title did not reach expectations. It was difficult to shake the feeling that wwe should have pressed the trigger before. Before Reigns lost its world title in April 2024, its mid -time state created a void that Knight could fill as the only full -time singles champion of SmackDown. When Knight won the American title, he had to divide television time with the new wwe undisputed champion, Cody Rhodes.

“What is the right time?” Knight asked. “No one knows. Should it have happened before? Yes, probably, in my opinion. At the same time, it is what it is.”

Look at the full interview with the Knight below.

The first reign of the American Knigt title was not enough for its own admission. Shinsuke Nakamura bothered him in the Survivor series: Wargames in a match that was not very hot. Knight is vigorized to make the most of his second career as an American champion after recovering Nakamura’s belt on March 7. “The Megaestrella” is heading towards Wrestlemania 41 with gold around the waist and high goals ahead.

“The first was not enough for me. The first took me away …”, said Knight. “I don’t feel that I got each one of what I needed and wanted to do it. So we have to do it again.

“We arrive at Wrestlemania … I want the world championship. I want the wwe championship. That has to happen a handful of times before everything is said and done.”
