LA Knight has been all over the top now picking up an impressive win against Logan Paul. Despite the Megastar taking a 360-degree turn in his career, going from a flop Max Dupri to the most fan-favorite poster boy really quickly, Triple H held his prize off for quite a long. Finally, he was able to clinch his first-ever WWE title in Cleveland. So, tonight on the red brand, the 41-year-old rightfully stepped up to an unbridled ‘you deserve it’ chant. That said, his entrance wasn’t as seamless and perfect as the crowd reception was. Knight ended up pulling in a huge botch during his arrival.

What’s your perspective on:
Did LA Knight's entrance botch ruin his SmackDown moment, or did he recover like a true pro?
Have an interesting take?
Knight had a whirlwind ride in WWE over the years. Starting his journey as Max Dhupri and undergoing huge downfall to rising above all the odds becoming one of the top stars of the division is no short of an instance of banger dedication and willpower. However, it didn’t happen overnight for the sensational superstar. Knight remained a huge fan-favorite and zero-title holder for a long. Triple H might have tasted his mojo a bit more carefully to entrust with the US title. Although The Hunter has always had something big for the Megastar in the store, he finally pulled it in during the Spectacular SummerSlam night. After the poster boy dismantled Paul, Triple H noted how deserving he was of what he just got.
Now, locking such a phenomenal talent for some more years was next on the card. Fightful Select reported, as per the recent deal, Knight will be WWE-bound exclusively for some added time. Although the monetary amount is still murky, Knight’s multi-year WWE deal called for a good bump in the pocket.
