In one such appearance on RAW, LA Knight’s entrance music played and RAW fans were ecstatically waiting for Knight to pop up. Only to be disappointed by The Miz who dressed up as LA Knight. The RAW star even went so far as to paint on facial stubble and mock the Knight’s signature bass tone as he called him ‘Vanilla’.

Last night on SmackDown, The Miz showed up once again to talk smack about Knight. But this time Knight confronted him head-on in the ring. After a heated exchange, The Miz tried to take a cheap shot at Knight who was addressing the fans. While the wrestler managed to duck out in time, The Miz eventually got him with a classic skull crusher. As The Miz exited the arena, Knight ran up from behind in retaliation and attacked him, causing commentator Corey Graves to say: “What a sore loser!”.

But The Miz will get a chance to settle the scores tonight.
