In a new interview with Yahoo! Entertainment, LA Knight opened up about his initial run with WWE NXT and how his second stint was so different.
He was first let go by WWE in 2014 before returning in 2021 and re-debuted at NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day.
Knight, who previously wrestled for Impact Wrestling as Eli Drake, stated that he enjoyed the second run much more than the first.
“‘NXT’ was a fun and wild ride,” Knight told Yahoo! “Obviously this was my second time around. The first time, I butted heads with the former head coach, but now coming back this time around, it was just a better understanding of each other and who I was and who I was working with I guess to some degree. This time things were just streamlined and it made the process in ‘NXT’ really good and flourish creatively, if you will.”
Knight moved up to WWE’s main roster earlier this year, performing as Max Dupri, only to go back to his previous gimmick that he had in NXT.
