The Mega Star is feeling the pressure of being a public figure.
Knight is currently one of the most over stars in professional wrestling right now and has been for most of 2023. He has now found himself as one of the top stars on SmackDown and has been rewarded with new opportunities as of late.
When asked if he has gone to John Cena or The Rock for any advice during an appearance on the Getting Over podcast, Knight said he would have liked to ask for advice on how to hide in public.
“Now, I mean, there’s certain little things that I want to ask about. How I can just hide myself in different ways. How do you how do you deal with that? I haven’t really had that particular conversation. I mean, I always kind of try to grab Hunter whenever I can, and just kind of get a litmus test to where things are going, because I always need to know the direction. That’s going to dictate what I’m doing, how I’m doing. Maybe it’s a conversation I should have, now that you bring it up,” he said. “I am the type that I just am not going to want to bother people with that. Again, that protection element comes in when I’m just like, ‘You know what, I’m just gonna not sweat this’, or at least appear that I’m not sweating it, and that’ll be good enough.
“I mean, I’ve had to figure this whole damn thing out on my own anyway for 20 years. I didn’t have a dad in the business. I didn’t have any friends in the business. I didn’t have any of that stuff. So it was basically, you know, I’m gonna figure it out as I go. That’s what I did. Maybe I was a late bloomer because of it, and who knows, maybe it’ll be to my detriment.”
