For as many opportunities as Knight has received within the last year, he's not been able to capture a WWE title. It's one of his main goals for 2024. He said he would love to hold any championship within the company, but said he's headed for the top.

Knight is going to get that opportunity coming up at one of the company's "Big Four" premium live events. Knight is set to compete in a fatal four-way for Roman Reigns' Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble against Reigns, AJ Styles, and a newly returned Randy Orton.

"I mean it seems past due, I guess, in some regards," Knight said. "Some others would say, 'Oh, it isn't needed.' But, for me, I think I do need it. And I think the reason I need it is because it's the recognition ... it's that I have gotten to a level where I have proven that I am beyond worthy. I've proven that I deserved it. And I've proven that I've earned it."
