Gaining the fans’ loyalty is something that takes years for a performer, be it in any art form. And the same goes for pro wrestling. Very few wrestlers have been able to crack that code of popularity, which is so very essential for their survival. In recent years, the superstars dominating this list are obviously Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes, and John Cena.

But there is one star who the fans love so much, that they even chant for him at rival promotions. We are talking about none other than SummerSlam ‘Battle Royal’s’ winner LA Knight.

This special occurrence happened in July after a ‘Dynamite’ episode outside the TD Garden in Boston. As fans were leaving the stadium, one fan thought of doing the unthinkable.

He went on to ask the crowd around him, “Yo, yo, I got a question. Whose game is it?”. To which a lot of people in unison replied in typical Knight style, “LA Knight … Yeah!”. Knight even shared this moment on his Instagram story after getting to know of this through other fans.
