LA Knight has addressed the alleged issues between himself and Drew McIntyre following the events that took place at the WWE Royal Rumble.
At the Royal Rumble, Drew McIntyre stormed out of the event before the show was over, reportedly due to another person in the match trying to get themselves over. Follow-up reports indicated that the person in question was Knight, leading to apparent frustrations between both sides.
During an appearance on Gorilla Position, Knight was asked to give his side of the story, to which the United States Champion responded that he had no idea that McIntyre stormed out until he was sent an article the following day:
“Well he had to leave because the show was over. At some point, everybody has to go home. He stormed out? I didn’t even know. No idea. I got to the back, I got the monitor, I saw the rest of the deal. No, he was already back there before I was. His ass got tossed already. I didn’t know anything about it. I didn’t know anything about it until I was sitting at home Sunday night and somebody sent me an article. I was like, Ah, that’s interesting.”
When asked if there was a conversation following the Rumble, Knight wouldn’t elaborate but noted there were:
“I can’t tell you the inner workings here, but there were some conversations had, I will tell you that.”
