The professional wrestling juggernaut has made the move with the streamer landing a $5billion deal, and those in charge at the platform have made it clear they’re looking for more shows aside from Raw, SmackDown, WrestleMania and more. Speaking exclusively to Metro in a sit-down chat backstage at London’s O2, former United States Champion LA Knight said: ‘My first instinct is, we should do something comedic, but I don’t think that would be the right move.

‘I feel like we need to do some sort of – maybe we take it easy on me and get my feet wet with a little maybe action-drama of some sort. ‘And maybe it’s some sort of a mini series, or maybe even a little quick, little quick little movie or something.’.
While the 42-year-old wrestler isn’t sure whether he’d rather appear as LA Knight in a ‘crossover universe’ or try ‘a completely different character altogether,’ he wasted no time in naming a potential co-star. ‘Sydney Sweeney,’ he laughed. ‘For me, like acting is not an end all, be all. But if the opportunity presents itself, I won’t say no!’.
