The 16-time World Champion Sees Shades of His Own Journey in “The Megastar”

The landscape of WWE in 2023 has witnessed the emergence of several stars, but few have shone as brightly as LA Knight. From being sidelined during WrestleMania to sharing the spotlight with John Cena at WWE Fastlane, Knight’s trajectory has been nothing short of remarkable.

John Cena, during his appearance on WWE’s The Bump, delved deep into LA Knight’s journey, drawing parallels between their respective paths in the wrestling world. He reminisced about his early days, noting, “It takes me back to when I began making a mark in WWE. There’s a striking resemblance between LA Knight’s journey and mine. Both of us faced challenges, were often underestimated, yet remained undeterred. The audience’s unwavering support for Knight, even when he was overlooked backstage, is a testament to his resilience.”

The bond between Cena and Knight was solidified on the September 29 episode of WWE SmackDown. Knight intervened, saving Cena from a potential onslaught by Jimmy Uso & Solo Sikoa. This act of camaraderie paved the way for Knight to team up with Cena at WWE Fastlane.

Cena elaborated on their budding partnership, stating, “Our alliance might be recent, but our shared adversaries have forged a strong bond between us. We might not be the most synchronized duo, but our mutual goal aligns our paths.”

Reflecting on the unpredictable nature of WWE and the audience’s role in shaping narratives, Cena expressed his admiration for the WWE Universe. He emphasized, “The beauty of WWE lies in its unpredictability. The audience has an uncanny ability to sense when they’re being steered, and they don’t shy away from voicing their opinions. As performers, this feedback is invaluable, reminding us that the true superstar is the WWE Universe.”

With WWE Fastlane on the horizon, fans eagerly await Cena’s return to the ring, marking his first televised bout since WrestleMania 39.
