After getting slammed for being a rip-off of Dwayne Johnson, Knight generated thunderous views for his segment on SmackDown. 

What was the viewership recorded for LA Knight’s segment?

Despite his immense popularity among fans, LA Knight only made a brief appearance on SmackDown. Nevertheless, he made a decisive impact during his short time. According to Wrestle Ops: Knight’s 2-minute promo garnered four million views across WWE socials in less than 24 hours.

On YouTube alone, it is the second most viewed clip for WWE SmackDown with over 750k views and counting, just behind Jey Uso’s attack on Paul Heyman. 

The former Million Dollar Champion cut a charismatic promo talking about his brand and surge of popularity, that fully hyped up the fans. 

LA Knight’s Dig over Dwayne Johnson’s remark

In the segment, he mentioned how he is the major attraction for the company and how people around him need him for views and clicks. He concluded by saying recruiting him was the best decision that the WWE, under the guidance of Triple H has made. 

Fans were quick to point out ‘the click’, which they believe was a reference to Kevin Nash.

The former nWo member disregarded LA Knight on his podcast ‘The Kliq’, by calling him a Dwayne Johnson rip-off and stating that he had ‘nothing original’.

However, Knight’s viewership despite other plans for him originally for his segment is a befitting reply to the legend. 

The 40-year-old will compete in a fatal four-way match when he takes on former world champions Rey Mysterio and Sheamus, and the emerging Cameron Grimes next week.

It’s hard to predict who will win next week, but with Knight in town, you can almost assure you he’s bound to be the fan favorite. While one doesn’t know if LA Knight is a rip-off, he certainly knows how to put on a show like Dwayne Johnson. 

What do you make of the impressive numbers? Let us know in the comments section below.
