LA Knight has ascended to the top of the WWE realm because of his immense charisma and popularity. All he needs to enhance his legacy is to have a title around his waist. The good news is that he is on his way to clinch his first major WWE championship. Fans can’t wait for LA Knight to face current United States Champion Logan Paul and win the championship. Both superstars had a fiery promo on SmackDown. One jab Paul took against LA Knight became the centerpiece of discussion on a WWE-related podcast.
Here we’re talking about the Busted Open Podcast, where they discussed if LA Knight was similar to The Rock. This may seem strange to some fans who did not think from this perspective, but if you look attentively, you may find that this assertion is genuine. Both superstars have gained acclaim for their charm, superb microphone abilities, and the confidence they exude when they stand in the squad circle.

Similar points were made in the podcast, but they did more than just compare them. They also agreed with the most recent Logan Paul barb at LA Knight in the discourse. This line came out of nowhere, which led many to believe that, while the two performers had many similarities, LA Knight is a miniature version of The Rock who has yet to attain splendid success.

WWE legend Mark Henry stated in the podcast, “The one thing I didn’t expect was for LA Knight to get called a knockoff version of The Rock because it’s low-hanging fruit, and it’s something that, you know, has been said before by other people. And I was just like, man, that was a little, that was a kick in the b*lls because it’s a sensitive issue because there’s some truth to it. But LA Knight was able to change some things and kind of make it himself. But when he first started, man, boy, he kind of sounded like The Rock and walked like The Rock and posed on the turnbuckle like The Rock, and he found his way though.”
Nevertheless, why do we think the challenger is the favorite for the win at SummerSlam?

When it comes to LA Knight WWE has opted to use a slow-burn approach. Despite gaining massive popularity in recent years, he has yet to do anything significant in the company. Nevertheless, his popularity has shown no signs of waning. Many Knight supporters are eager for him to win a title after everything he’s been through in the industry. They thought they could see their favorite superstar win his first major WWE title when he faced Roman Reigns for the WWE Undisputed Universal championship. Alas, that was not meant to be. However, it seems like Knight could end up in the win column at SummerSlam.

Logan Paul's weak jabs at LA Knight—Is he running out of original material?
Have an interesting take?
WWE cannot allow Logan Paul to retain the US title for much longer, as SmackDown needs a full-time mid-card championship. Furthermore, Knight is ideal for this since he can raise the title above and increase its value even more. What are your opinions on Logan Paul’s jab against LA Knight?
