42-year-old WWE star vows to win the world title
WWE is days away from WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, two-time United States Champion LA Knight has vowed to win a world title.
In 2023 and 2024, LA Knight was moments away from winning the Money in the Bank briefcase but failed. Over the past few years, fans have supported the rise of The Megastar and want to see him hold a world title in the Stamford-based promotion.
In a recent interview on Gorilla Podcast, LA Knight was asked about his chances of winning a world championship in WWE. The current United States Champion candidly said that a world title win was in his future.
"So, yeah. I think that there's a world title run in my future. Whether they think or anybody else thinks, it won't make a difference to me. At some point, it's probably going to happen," Knight said. (From 14:48 to 14:56)
LA Knight will defend the WWE United States Championship at WrestleMania 41
Last year, LA Knight defeated Logan Paul and won the United States Championship at SummerSlam 2024 in Ohio. The 42-year-old had a decent run on Friday Night SmackDown, with various title defenses under his belt. He lost the title to Shinsuke Nakamura at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2024.
In the following months, Knight continued to chase the championship and get a rematch. After overcoming The Bloodline, The Megastar got another shot at the title and became a two-time United States Champion on Friday Night SmackDown. However, he still has unfinished business with the villainous faction.
Earlier this month, Jacob Fatu defeated Braun Strowman in a Last Man Standing match and earned a shot at the WWE United States Championship at WrestleMania 41 against LA Knight. It'll be interesting to see which star leaves The Showcase of the Immortals in Las Vegas with the title.
