LA Knight opened up about the brawl during his appearance on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet. The WWE Superstar noted that he and Styles were giving different interviews during the media day when the Phenomenal One remarked on him. The Megastar added that he turned into a physical brawl as it was on point with his character

“At some point, AJ tossed a stool in my direction, and at that point, all I’m thinking is again the depth of the story we had told up to now. I’m like, there’s no way I wouldn’t react if he throws his stool at me. What am I going to do? I’m going to fight him. So I go over and just start fighting him, and I’m thinking surely security is going to come and break this up real quick, and it just went on and on. We’re down there work-shooting, and he’s knocking me away, because we got to make it look good now, because we’re like in the people. I’m like, where the f*ck is security? What is taking so long?”

LA Knight added that he expected the security to intervene sooner, and the two men even received a reprimanding phone call from WWE management;.

“I’m sure he wasn’t intending to get to where it got to, but in my head, I’m like, I have gone to his house to fight him. He throws a stool at me from five feet away. What am I going to do? Just shrug it off? No. So I went over there, thinking security is going to take care of it. They didn’t. I mean they did finally, but yeah, it took a minute, and so I hit that, he slammed the sh*t out of me, and he ended up with a bloody nose, so after that we both got a phone call, though, like, what are you guys doing, you can’t do that, and it was like, hey, I’m trying to keep it alive, I’m trying.”

LA Knight got his first WrestleMania win at WWE WrestleMania XL

LA Knight is one of the most over stars on the WWE roster. However, that has not often been reflected in the star’s booking as he has not been involved in many credible storylines in the company. Knight’s feud with AJ Styles is one of the best rivalries of his career. It also gave the Megastar the first WrestleMania win of his career.

LA Knight has competed at both WrestleMania 41 and 42 since then. While he lost to Jacob Fatu at the Showcase of Immortals last year, he was on the winning end of his match at this year’s event.
