LA Knight made a concrete change to his backstage routine after watching himself on WWE Unreal Season 2 — and he’s not shy about saying why. During an interview with the Bootleg Kev Podcast, Knight explained that seeing himself unknowingly captured on camera during a tense post-match moment with Triple H following Money in the Bank 2025 was enough to change his habits permanently.
“I had no idea that I was on a microphone at that point in time,” Knight said. “And so with that being the case, I don’t even stop there in Gorilla anymore. When my match is over, my segment is over, I go straight through and I go to the locker room.” He was clear about his willingness to discuss his work — just not on camera. “If they want to talk to me about my match or whatever happened out there, sure, let’s talk about it when there’s not a microphone or camera around. Because that’s how it’s always been.”
Knight Says He Was “Majorly Holding His Tongue” During That Unreal Moment
Knight also addressed the visible tension from that Unreal scene, where Triple H reprimanded him for deviating from the original Money in the Bank finish. “I was majorly holding my tongue in that scenario, if you could tell. I had my own frustrations about that situation — that partially had to do with the finish, but more so it had to do with an overarching theme that I don’t need to get into the weeds about here.”
