"I'm in it for money" - Former WWE champion makes a bold statement following massive victory on RAW

Former WWE United States Champion LA Knight made headlines when he advanced to the finale of the Last Time Is Now tournament, after he pinned Jey Uso in a surprising fashion on RAW last week. The megastar is now set to face Gunther in the finale of the tournament, and the winner would get to face John Cena in his final match before retirement.

Knight has been one of the biggest names in the men’s division lately, and fans have been waiting for him to get the push he deserves. While he is not expected to win the finale of the tournament, this could be the moment where WWE uses his charisma and popularity to take him to the top.

Addressing the nature of business lately, the megastar stated that he was in it to make money. The former United States Champion, during an episode of RAW Recap, stated that it was a pretty ‘selfish’ business.

"It is a selfish business, and I'm in it for money. I'm in it to win championships, I'm in it to be the best. But at the same time, if I can leave a good mark on this thing, I'm not opposed to it," he stated [35.41 onwards]

WWE doesn’t view LA Knight ‘fit’ for the World title

While fans have been wondering when Knight would get his big push and win the World title. The company seemingly has no plans for it. As per recent reports from Ibou of Self Made Pro, people within the company didn’t view Knight as worthy of holding the World Championship.

While there have been instances where Knight has reached the pinnacle of his career, he needs a World title win to top it all before it’s time to hang up the boots. Fans will have to wait and see if the megastar ever gets to put the WWE title on his shoulders.
