It’s undeniable that LA Knight is swiftly becoming one of the most rapidly emerging talents on the current roster. The WWE fanbase deeply resonates with Knight’s persona. Despite facing considerable challenges before his ascent within WWE, he has garnered a strong following among fans. However, on the latest edition of Raw, Knight met his equal on the mic, The Miz.

The segment quickly turned into a heated argument after the duo traded barbs with each other. Moreover, The A-Lister made his rivalry with Knight personal by calling him an “Attitude Era fanboy playing cosplay”. Fans in Minneapolis certainly witnessed what they came to see. Naturally, the scathing promo between the two stars is now buzzing on social media.

It would be a travesty to exclude The Miz from the list of the most nefarious heels in the WWE. The two-time Grand Slam Champion’s success was no low-hanging fruit in the WWE. When The Miz first arrived in the WWE, he was thrown out of the locker room. For months, The Miz changed into his wrestling gear in the janitor’s room until the locker room leader, The Undertaker let him in. So, yes, The Miz has paid his dues.

The Miz’s career-defining moment was when he beat John Cena in the main event of WrestleMania 27. On the other hand, LA Knight, who is almost the same age as The Miz, is just starting to get the recognition he deserves. But the fact that Knight won the Slim Jim Battle Royal at SummerSlam did not sit well with The Miz. 

During their segment on Raw, Knight made his way to the ring, making it clear that he has no problem with The Miz. However, the two-time WWE Champion expressed that he had a problem with Knight.

When The Miz recounted an uneventful period in his professional journey when he was expelled from the locker room, Knight asserted that such a scenario wouldn’t befall him, given his reputation as a resilient individual.

Anyway, after the fiery verbal exchange, fans know exactly what’s coming. Based on how things went in the segment, the rivalry between LA Knight and The Miz is sure fire going to be a banger.

After constantly exchanging sharp verbal jabs, La Knight challenged The Miz to a match to find out who the better man is. However, The Miz conveyed that Knight had a lot of work to do, as he is not at his level yet. Knight was only pandering to The WWE Universe as the fans cheered to see the duo collide one-on-one.

After the fans started rallying for their match, The Miz, in typical fashion, attacked the 40-year-old star and tried to deliver the “Skull Crushing Finale”. Knight, however, countered and delivered an exclamation point, hitting Miz with the “Blunt Force Trauma”.

Nonetheless, The Miz may not be thrilled about his encounter with Knight, but the fans certainly are. Here’s how the fans reacted.
