"It's been too long, man. Way too long. What I need to do is I need to get these off here. What I need to do is get that LA Knight back on there. What I need to do is get that strap on, and what I need to do is take this title back to places, maybe that it once was, but to places that it's never been. What I need to do is take this title all over the damn world. I think we're going to Europe not too long from now, and the US Champ, the US Title, coming on over there, and I'll tell you what, just the same as here in the US, you can all pledge allegiance to the champ of the United States, with everybody saying, 'LA Knight.' Two times, we did it again."

Knight also reflected on how far he's come, admitting that at one point, he thought his career wasn't going anywhere. Now, he's not just back -- he's on top once again.

"Two times. Two times, United States Champion. It was only a few years ago, I thought my career was never gonna go anywhere. I thought my career was kind of nearing its end, and here I am, all the sudden just taking off, all the sudden just winning the United States Championship not once, but twice. When I think about it, it took me how many times last week to get here? Two times. Why? Because I had to wrestle some goof one time last week. Then I had to wrestle two other goofs another time last week. Two times to get here, two times the champion. Two times is nice. Double mint gum. Oh yeah, double mint twins, are they gonna be here? Nah, nah. But that's okay because you got this man just dropping BFTs on everybody, turning three into two. Two-time US Champ, and there ain't nothing anybody can do about it. Shinsuke Nakamura, you had a nice little reign in the shadows. Hope you enjoyed it, but now we're bringing it out to the light like nobody else can. Once again, we can all pledge allegiance to the champ of the United States of America. Yeah."

At the end of the day, LA Knight isn't just holding the U.S. Title -- he's making it the title to watch. From nearly calling it quits to standing tall as a two-time champion, he's got momentum on his side and a whole lot of unfinished business. Now, the only question left is -- who's bold enough to step up and try to take it from him?
