Follow Us
WWE is particular about what roles their superstars will play going forward in the company. There is always a baby face and a heel in every professional wrestling storyline. While the baby faces get cheered, nowadays the same is happening with many heels in the industry. However, WWE has a trick up their sleeve so that their heels get booed. Recently the fans didn’t like it when they used it for LA Knight.
Knight is one of the most over stars in WWE right now, but the company hasn’t booked him to full potential until now. Moreover, they pulled their trick on SmackDown to make the most star a heel in the company.

WWE’s fake propaganda exposed over LA Knight on SmackDown
Last week’s SmackDown episode was pre-tapped as the roster was in Saudi Arabia for Night of Champions. However, this gave the company a chance to use its fake propaganda in the show before telecasting it on Friday night. Surprisingly, it was heavily used on LA Knight while he was on the show.
WWE piped in fake crowd noises that booed Knight while he was in a match with Rick Boogs. He defeated Boogs in the match, but it is clear by the fake noises that WWE wants him to be a heel in the company.

Knight is one of the stars on the current roster who has organically gotten over the fans. Unfortunately, the Stamford-based promotion isn’t willing to capitalize on the organic growth he has achieved.
This is not the first time WWE has piped in fake jeers. Even John Cena openly talked about the same in his promo with Austin Theory, leading to the match at WrestleMania 39.

Nevertheless, the 40-year-old WWE star will face Montez Ford for the Men’s Money in the Bank qualifiers. Knight is one of the favorable stars to win the briefcase this year and the fans also want to see the same. Moreover, the WWE Universe showed their disappointment over the company using this trick for the former Impact World Champion.
WWE using fake boos didn’t impress the fans!
Wrestling fans have seen his work in other promotions, most notably in TNA/ Impact Wrestling, before he arrived in WWE. Until now he has won the Million Dollar title once in NXT and had a major feud with Bray Wyatt.
