Is the WWE Locker Room Turning On LA Knight Despite Being a Fan Favorite? Top Stars Side With The Miz

Without a doubt, LA Knight is rapidly becoming one of the most prominent rising talents within the WWE. Although he is yet to achieve his first singles championship on the main roster, the WWE Universe is clamoring to see him in the main events of shows. Despite his popularity, however, he is not particularly well-liked by his co-stars. A few WWE stars do not want to see LA Knight prevail over The Miz. 

The two stars under consideration are Grayson Waller and Baron Corbin. It’s worth noting that both stars don’t have a great relationship with ‘The A-Lister’. So, it’s no surprise that they aren’t rooting for LA Knight to come out victorious against The Miz. 

LA Knight may have the fans on his side, but not Grayson Waller and Baron Corbin

Although LA Knight is currently experiencing success in his career at the age of 40, it’s inevitable that he will secure his first championship title sooner or later. His victory in the 20-man Slim Jim Battle Royal suggests that he’s poised for a well-deserved push. But before he gets his push, he is going to have to get past the two-time Grand Slam Champion, The Miz. 

During the latest edition of Raw, The Miz and LA Knight engaged in a heated exchange. The Miz, who boasts an impressive WWE career, told Knight that he was his knock-off version minus the accolades. In addition, The Miz took umbrage with the production team’s preference for LA Knight over him.

In response to The Miz, Knight fired back, stating that unlike the former, who was thrown out of the locker room, Knight was not someone to be trifled with. Unsurprisingly, The Miz delivered a cheap shot to Knight and prepared to hit the Skull Crushing Finale. However, Knight reversed the move into a Blunt Force Trauma. 

At this point, it is clear that The Miz is going to be Knight’s next opponent. Grayson Waller took to Twitter and wrote, “Miz > LA Knight. And it’s not even close #WWERAW.” 

Furthermore, Baron Corbin extended his support for The former WWE Champion by tweeting an emoji of a mic, insinuating that The Miz is a better talker. 

Make no mistake, as brilliant as LA Knight is on the mic, The Miz is his equal. But the question remains – are they equals when it comes to their performance in the ring? We will have to wait and see. Meanwhile, if you’re wondering why Grayson Waller is siding with The Miz, it’s because of his recent interaction with LA Knight.

LA Knight once stole Grayson Waller’s potential date 

During an edition of NXT, Grayson Waller was making his move with a pretty lady backstage. However, he was disappointed after she politely told him that she had other plans.

A surprised Waller asked her who she could be hanging out with after rejecting him. She pointed at LA Knight, who was standing right behind Waller, leaning against his red car. Waller receiving the cold shoulder from the girl because of LA Knight seems to have struck a nerve. 

All in all, it’s certain that LA Knight has his detractors. It will be interesting to see if Knight prevails over The Miz in spite of his haters. What are your thoughts on Grayson Waller and Baron Corbin rooting for The Miz over LA Knight? Comment below!
