John Cena praises LA Knight following WWE Fastlane
John Cena had nothing but kind words to say about LA Knight following their victory at Fastlane.
Knight and Cena teamed up to battle The Bloodline's Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso this past Saturday night at the premium live event in Indianapolis. Knight pulled out the victory for the team and planted Uso with the Blunt Force Trauma for the pinfall victory. After the match, the 16-time World Champion tried to raise Knight's hand, but he refused. Instead, The Megastar raised Cena's hand to a great reaction from the crowd.
Speaking at the press conference following WWE Fastlane, John Cena complimented LA Knight for his hard work and thanked him for raising his hand after the match:
"Honestly, I was very grateful. I think we all watched the same match and being around the electricity and the rise of LA Knight is something. I love that stuff, you guys know me, I'm passionate about passion and I love this business and I love it when people earn their respect. LA Knight has certainly done that and I was just trying to do a respectful thing in the end and I was outsmarted. It felt really good because it was very authentic and there's nothing I can argue with that so that was a great moment for me," Cena said. [6:56 - 7:34]
Tonight's edition of WWE NXT is shaping up to be a very entertaining show. It will be interesting to see how much the added star power will boost the ratings against AEW Dynamite this week.
