LA Knight has become a roaring success with the fans after his meteoric rise in popularity in the WWE roster last year. His engagement with the crowd in attendance has been noteworthy as he connects with his signature charm and catchphrase.
Knight is embroiled in a deep grudge feud with the Phenomenal one, AJ Styles, with both putting on an entertaining match at WrestleMania XL. Fans were pleased to see LA Knight win but one of them was overjoyed and made sure to express it to him in their meeting.
A video was posted on social media, showcasing an incredibly wholesome interaction between a WWE fan named Derek and LA Knight. The young fan could not contain his excitement at the sight of the superstar while getting on a bus on his birthday. They treated each other with love and respect and took selfies on the bus.

WWE Hall of Famer believes Cody Rhodes fighting LA Knight could be a bad idea
Cody Rhodes finally reached the top of WWE and triumphantly finished his story at WrestleMania XL. On Night 2, the American Nightmare took the WWE Undisputed Title from Roman Reigns.
Now, it remains to be seen who Rhodes' first-ever challenger will be at Backlash in France. The decision will be between LA Knight and AJ Styles. Both qualified for the final of the WWE Undisputed Championship tournament, which will take place on SmackDown this week.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Bully Ray considered the possibility of LA taking on Cody Rhodes for the title at Backlash France and didn't seem to think it's the correct option.
"I think you're potentially cutting the audience. I'm not going to say in half. But what if ¾'s of the place cheers for Cody, but ¼ of the place cheers for LA Knight? Cody needs to have his back against the wall at all times. Cody is the type of champion that needs to be fighting underneath at all times. And my concern is that they don't have the type of heels that can keep the pressure on him, like Brock Lesnar did. Or Cody having to overcome, like the torn pec muscle. Or what Roman, or the beatdown that Rock gave him in the rain in Chicago with the blood," he said
It will be interesting to see who comes out on top in the rematch between Knight and Styles this Friday on SmackDown to challenge Rhodes for his world title.
