"I know he's old and beaten down, but I've got to take the crown."
Jun 27, 2023
In a recent interview with the Daily Star, WWE Superstar LA Knight challenged King Charles III to a match.
Speaking ahead of WWE's trip to the United Kingdom for Money in the Bank, Knight stated: "I gotta go to the top man and run for King Charles. I know he's old and beaten down and you know busted up, but I've got to take the crown."
Knight is set to compete in the men's Money in the Bank ladder match, facing off against fellow competitors Damian Priest, Shinsuke Nakamura, Santos Escobar, Ricochet, Butch and Logan Paul.
The SmackDown Superstar also spoke about what he feels he brings to the ring, explaining:
"There's a lot of guys out there just doing their routines, doing the tumbling, and they're doing their gymnastics and that kind of stuff – I don't do that. Sure, I can throw some spice in there every now and then, where it makes sense, where it fits where I need it.
"A lot of times it's the physical charisma, it's the physical kind of mannerisms and stuff like that, like how are you conducting yourself? How are you holding yourself? If you look at the biggest swells in the industry, you're looking at the golden era with Hogan – big time charisma – you're looking at the Attitude Era with The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. It was all big time charisma, nobody was doing crazy flips.
"I mean, some of the guys were doing that, but those are the guys on the undercard card - and no disrespect to that as that's something that you need on the card, but for the guys that I wanted to be and the guys that I wanted to emulate and where I wanted to be on the card, I knew who I wanted to be."
