LA Knight responded to an amusing suggestion from the WWE Universe

Despite losing some big matches, the 40-year-old star has gained popularity on WWE TV. However, Knight is all in for the wrestling fans and will give his best to try and emerge victorious at the SlimJim Battle Royal at SummerSlam 2023.

Recently, a fan shared a photoshopped image of the former Million Dollar Champion, stating he would look great on the Wheaties box. LA Knight reacted to the tweet, hinting that he liked the suggestion from the fan.

He has currently set his eyes on Austin Theory's United States Championship. Only time will if the former Eli Drake will climb up to the top, just like his merchandise sales, and win championship gold after SummerSlam.
