My Journey Following LA Knight to WrestleMania
Alright, let’s talk about this whole LA Knight thing leading up to WrestleMania. Man, the buzz was real, wasn’t it? Everywhere you looked, people chanting, wearing the shirts. I gotta admit, I got caught up in it too. Started watching SmackDown more regularly just to see what he’d do next. You hear that “YEAH!” chant, and it just pulls you in.
So, the journey, my process, really started weeks, maybe months before Mania. It was all about watching the shows each week. Seeing who he was interacting with. The big thing, of course, became the feud with AJ Styles. That felt like a proper direction, you know? Two guys who can really talk and work.
Watching the Build-Up
Here’s what I did, week by week:
- Tuned into SmackDown every Friday. Sometimes I caught it live, sometimes later on DVR.
- Paid close attention to his promos. The guy has a way with words, gotta give him that. Felt old school, but fresh too.
- Looked for the interactions with Styles. The sneak attacks, the war of words. That’s the stuff that builds a Mania match.
- Read some forums, saw what other folks were thinking. Mostly just noise, but sometimes you see a good point.
There were times I thought maybe they weren’t giving him enough, or the story felt a bit forced here and there. But mostly, I was just invested in seeing him get that WrestleMania moment. He earned that spot, felt like.
WrestleMania Weekend: The Payoff
Then came the actual weekend. Found my spot on the couch, got the snacks ready. Settled in for Night 2, because that’s where the match was slotted. When his music hit, place went nuts, even through the TV speakers. You could feel the energy.
The match itself against AJ? Solid stuff. It wasn’t some five-star technical classic maybe, but it didn’t need to be. It was a fight. Physical. They told the story they needed to tell – the grudge, the intensity. Back and forth action. I remember thinking AJ was gonna get the win a couple of times, but Knight kept kicking out.
The Result
And then, boom! LA Knight gets the win. Clean finish. Felt right. After all that build, all the chanting, seeing him get his hand raised on the biggest stage? Yeah, that felt like the proper conclusion to that part of the story. It was satisfying to watch unfold after following it for weeks.
So, that was my little journey following the LA Knight WrestleMania saga. Just watching the shows, getting invested in the character, and seeing it through to the big event. Simple as that, really. Just enjoying the ride as a fan. YEAH!
