LA Knight's Close Call: WWE's Near-Firing and Overcoming Doubt

LA Knight, formerly known as Eli Drake, revealed that he believed he was on the verge of being fired by WWE last year after being called up to the main roster and given the Max Dupri character. However, he received a FaceTime call from the company expressing their desire to keep him around. Knight eventually broke away from the Max Dupri gimmick and returned to his LA Knight persona, which has garnered significant fan support. He is now considered a favorite to win the men's Money in the Bank ladder match and potentially become world champion.
