– While speaking with ESPN, LA Knight disclosed that he approached WWE for an opportunity in late 2020. Despite initial discussions involving an insanely low offer of $55,000, Knight willingly took a pay cut with the belief that he could leverage it for greater earnings in the future.
“I said, ‘If you’re only going to offer me $55,000,’ which was what it was at the time, ‘that’s a major, major downgrade of my lifestyle right now. I said, ‘But I’m at the ceiling where I’m at right now. I can take the pay cut on the bet that I’m going to turn that into a lot more if that’s all you have to offer me.’ And as soon as I said that, [a WWE official] gets back to me and he’s like, ‘I like that attitude. It’s going to be more than that.’”
