LA Knight is hailed by the WWE Universe for his fighting style and his appeal with the WWE Universe. The very same Knight had once turned against the crowd who loved him the most. In fact, he once made a really big blunder that was beyond any form of recovery or damage control. After a well-fought match, Knight ended up saying the exact opposite of what he was supposed to making Triple H angry.
The WWE amazes its audience with its live acts of wrestling, promos, and banter. However, while working at the world’s largest pro wrestling company, errors are bound to happen. Freshly released wrestlers Mansoor and Mace recently spoke about several things they saw at WWE, including LA Knight’s blunder, and how Triple H dealt with him.

Mansoor and Mace recently appeared together on a Twitch livestream after being kicked out of the WWE roster. The Maximum Male Models leaked several major secrets that happened behind the camera after WWE ditched them. The needle swung in the direction of LA Knight as well, and Mansoor unveiled a terrible folly he committed.
According to Mansoor, “And so I have my match with Knight, and he is supposed to cut a promo afterwards.” Mansoor continued, “And then he goes like, I don’t want anyone of you swamp a** butt dwelling pieces of trash to cheer me up.” Knight and Mansoor went backstage after their match. Mansoor said that Triple H summoned Knight after the match while Mansoor waited for him outside. When Knight reemerged, Mansoor immediately felt something was off.
Mansoor recalled, “I’m like, ‘What’s going on? Everything okay?’ And Knight goes, ‘I guess, somewhere along the way, something was lost, ’cause I was supposed to cut a babyface promo.’ I was like, ‘Excuse me?’ He was like, ‘Yeah, Hunter was like, ‘Why’d you go and sh*t on the crowd?’ I was like, ”’Cause I’m a heel?’ And he was like, ‘No, you’re not.’ And he was like, ‘Oh, oops!'”
However, Mansoor also added, “It wasn’t his fault the writer told him.” Everything happened because of a backend error. While Triple H reprimanded Knight for the mistake, he didn’t subject him to very harsh treatment. In fact, he is starting to receive quite a push from the management.
