LA Knight has been building momentum in his ever-expanding in-ring mojo since the very beginning of this year. Within a fleeting period, the 40-year-old has seen a huge rise in his once rather stagnant run. From becoming the top babyface of the company to earning a title shot at the Crown Jewel PLE, he reached the helm of the business. It led him to earn an encounter against the one and only Undisputed Universal WWE Champion, Roman Reigns. Although he couldn’t get the upper hand, the game was still on.

And now, it’s time for him to add an important feather to his cap to round off this year right.

LA Knight received a very special honor from his hometown city for his outstanding feat

Today, on December 23rd, the authority of his hometown, Hagerstown, Maryland celebrated The Megastar’s skyrocketed rise in the wrestling world. He has been bestowed with a terrific honor, a key to the city, at a public event for the significant impact he has made on the entertainment world this year.

The news first came to light on the Hagerstown, MD city website and social media outlets. Now, given that it has finally happened for the US native, it’s a high point to cherish for the superstar and his millions of admirers.

Knight is more than ready to step into a more fulfilling year to surpass all his achievements from the last year.

But how’s the current storyline going for The Megastar? Let’s have a quick look.

What LA Knight has been up to in SmackDown right now?

Right now, Knight is involved in an intense feud with AJ Styles. It all started when Knight replaced Styles to team up with John Cena against Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso at WWE Fastlane and picked up the victory.

While WWE continues to build heat between the Phenomenal One and The Megastar since weeks in SmackDown, they don’t view Styles as an ideal heel. However, that doesn’t affect the momentum of his rivalry with Knight.

In case, Styles gets his chance to compete with Roman Reigns at the Royal Rumble next year, Knight might wreak havoc on him, costing him a win. Thus, their soaring rivalry might culminate in a stellar WrestleMania match.
