Week after week, the popularity of LA Knight is increasing at an exponential rate. Despite all the backlash he received for copying Dwayne Johnson, he is still the hot favorite of the WWE Universe. Fans believe it is high time the Stamford-based promotion gives him the push he deserves.
Going to social media platforms, Twitter and Instagram, the wrestling world has expressed their desire to see Knight as a main eventer. Fans no longer want him to be mid-card talent in the wrestling promotion.

Another week and another awesome promo and match from Knight. Surely, he doesn’t disappoint his fans. That’s why they love him. On this week’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown, the crowd popped as loud as they could when Knight made an entrance.
He did what he does best, work magic on the mic. He interrupted Hit Row and dropped a couple of snarky one-liner comments on Ashante “Thee” Adonis, Top Dolla, and B-Fab before facing Adonis in a singles match. Later, he ended up winning his match, plus the crowd’s hearts, as always.

Dwayne Johnson is famous for delivering one-liner insults at his opponents and rivals. Just like every week, this week too fans felt Knight emitting ‘The Rock’ vibes in the arena as he delivered insults on his opponent and his stablemates.
Every week, the fans make WWE realize their mistake for not capitalizing on Knight’s momentum. The same happened this week too.
The WWE Universe’s wish gets granted
Knight’s popularity among the fans hasn’t diminished even a little. In fact, he is gaining more fame with each passing day. Seeing his performance this week, fans have again compared him to ‘The Rock’. Here are some of the top comments from the fans.

Knight was the top pick among the fans for winning the Money in the Bank contract that took place earlier this month. The WWE Universe also wanted him to win the fatal 4-way match that happened last week on the blue brand for an opportunity at the United States Championship.

“Give this man a decent match at summerslam he deserves it! he such a star”
“Stop teasing us and give him something to actually work with.”
“Give him a title run. He deserves better.”
