Ahead of WWE Money in the Bank, Knight was widely viewed as one of the favorites to win the match, though Damian Priest emerged victorious.
Speaking on , thą¼ŗe WWE Hall of Famer shared his thoughts on Knight.
āAm the only one that sees an absolute ripoff of The Rock? To the point where he cut the promo on fucking Logan Paul or whatever the fuck is name is. He said, āYeah, stick it,ā the only thing he didnāt do was turn that motherfucker sideways. What, does everybody have amnesia? Thereās nothing originalā¦āOh, man, his promo.ā His promosā¦āFinally, LA Knight has come back as a white guy.ā If you donāt put that Money in the Bank in Paulās hands so you can, the rest of the year, say, āOh, fuck, yeah, but the wildcard is, will Logan Paul be there?ā If you donāt get some mileage out of that, then uncle. I donāt know this guy, LA Knight. I donāt know him, but Iāll tell you one thing, I got a text message from him, Iām just gonna read what it says. āHey Nash, I know you donāt know me. Iāve got an idea of this character. Heās called the Scorpion King. What do you think?ā This is bullshit, okay. Rock was the Scorpion King. Then he said heās in talks with Disney. I donāt know what the fuckās going on," Nash said.
