Fans baffled by WWE star's resurfaced comments following Damian Priest's Money in the Bank win

Some WWE fans were confused when Damian Priest won Money in the Bank on Saturday instead of LA Knight. They dug up Knight's recent remarks about his age while pointing out that Priest is older than him.In an interview with the Daily Mail last month, Knight revealed that WWE was reluctant to give him a push due to his age. It was one of the main reasons why he was repackaged as Max Dupri when he was called up to the main roster last year.&quot;I get the attention of the right people, 'Hey, who is this guy?'&quot; Knight said. &quot;But then the age thing comes up (whispers), &quot;Oh no, he's 40, danger.' ... That number came up and it was like, 'Well ok, maybe we make him a manager.' So Some things happened there. It was not my cup of tea and definitely, I don't think it was for me.&quot;A wrestling fan account on Twitter, @JustAlyxCentral, opened up a debate about a possible bias against Knight. The fan has an issue with WWE pushing Priest, who is older than the popular superstar.&quot;LA Knight openly stated that WWE management had reservations about pushing him because of his age,&quot; the fan wrote. &quot;He's 40. Yet, they seem to have no issue pushing Damian Priest as Mr. MITB, who, by the way, is actually OLDER than LA Knight by 3 months. Can't wrap my head around that.&quot;Just Alyx@JustAlyxCentralLA Knight openly stated that WWE management had reservations about pushing him because of his age. He's 40.
