LA Knight Comments On ‘Long Overdue’ US Title Win At WWE SummerSlam

LA Knight is the new WWE United States Champion following SummerSlam, and he spoke about his title win in the post-show press event. Knight, who defeated Logan Paul to win the title at the show, was asked in the press conference how it felt to finally win a title in WWE.

“Long overdue,” he replied (per Fightful). “I don’t know if anybody could read lips out there, but most of the stuff I was saying, you probably can’t say right now because it was a lot of ‘f**kin right,’ and all that kind of stuff. It is long overdue. You talk about the fact that it’s long overdue. Maybe it’s right on time. I don’t know.”

He continued, “But at this point, it’s feeling like the right time to me because I think a lot of people, you look into the winter time, I see the talk. People are like, ‘Oh, I don’t know. I think LA Knight’s fallen off.’ Am I fallen off now? Because I think last night when I walked out there and everybody got standing up, yelling, ‘LA Knight,’ my guy, new US Championship. We’re only taking off from here.I wanted this [title], now I got it. At this point now, for me, again, I talked about 2023 being the foundation. 2024 now is the time to start building that legacy, start building that legend of LA Knight.”
