In the grand spectacle that is WrestleMania, WWE Superstars often aim for unforgettable moments, and LA Knight is no exception, recently making a pitch for a spectacular entrance at the upcoming WrestleMania 40 event.
While Knight’s WrestleMania 40 participation is yet to be confirmed, he’ll have the opportunity to secure his spot at Elimination Chamber in Australia later this month, where he’ll compete in the Men’s Elimination Chamber match.
The victor of this match will earn the chance to challenge World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins at WrestleMania.
During a recent appearance on WWE’s The Bump, Knight shared his vision for a standout WrestleMania entrance. Known for his signature catchphrase “Yeah!”, Knight expressed his desire for R&B sensation Usher to perform his entrance at WrestleMania 40.
Usher’s hit single “Yeah!”, released in 2004 in collaboration with Lil Jon and Ludacris, holds significant cultural weight and remains a chart-topping anthem.

With Usher’s recent high-profile performance at NFL Super Bowl 58, the timing seems opportune for such a collaboration. Knight’s enthusiasm for the idea was palpable during the discussion on The Bump, where he eagerly proposed joining Usher onstage for the iconic track.
Usher’s track record of success with “Yeah!” makes it a fitting choice for a WrestleMania entrance, given its widespread popularity and enduring appeal since its release nearly two decades ago.
While Knight’s WrestleMania plans are yet to be finalized, speculation abounds regarding his potential role at the event. While a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship against Rollins seems unlikely despite his participation in the Elimination Chamber match, another intriguing possibility emerges.
Logan Paul’s ongoing feud with Kevin Owens suggests his presence on the WrestleMania card is all but assured, with rumors hinting at a potential title defense against Knight for the United States Championship.
Wrestling veteran Eric Bischoff weighed in on the potential matchup, initially expressing skepticism but later warming to the idea, particularly considering the significance of a title transition between rising stars.
Although Knight has yet to face Paul or Owens in televised singles competition, his previous encounters and team-ups with Owens hint at the potential for an electrifying showdown on the WrestleMania stage.
