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.

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.
