“Worst Work I’d Done…”: LA Knight Reveals Dissatisfaction With His Recent Work With Former WWE Champion Despite Growing Popularity

LA Knight had been struggling in WWE for a while until his luck turned around in mid-2023. He found it harder to connect with the WWE audience, which resulted in his talent and skill being unexplored by WWE. But somewhere around mid-2023, he started growing popular among the fans, thus eventually making him one of the top fan favorites among the WWE Universe.

It all happened after he got involved in a feud with former WWE Champion, The Miz. Working alongside a heel Miz as a babyface skyrocketed his popularity among the fans. But then why did he claim he was unsatisfied with his storyline with ‘The A-Lister’? Let’s dive deep and find out.

What did LA Knight have to say about his promo battles with The Miz?

Knight recently sat down for an interview with Chris Van Vliet. During their conversation, he opened up about his unhappiness with his program with ‘The Awesome One’. During his storyline with Miz, the two stars engaged in several intense promo battles, leaving jaws dropped everywhere. People were praising them, but ‘The Defiant One’ still felt discontented.

He said, “The Miz was really bringing it to the point where like I remember a couple guys in the back just being like ‘Wow, I feel like this is like the best work Miz has done’ and while coincidentally I felt like it was some of the worst work I’d done in a while.”

Though everybody lauded his verbal skills when he assaulted ‘The Money-Maker’ with words, he felt something was missing, which made him unhappy with his promos.

Why was Knight dissatisfied with his promo battle?

WWE promos are fully scripted. This made Knight a little uncomfortable while executing his lines while trading barbs with Miz. ‘The Defiant One’ claimed he likes being old-school and improvising during promo deliveries. According to him, unscripted promos bring out the purest and most raw form of emotions which help to connect with the audience on a deeper level.

Since Knight had to recite his script verbatim, he felt his promos lacked depth. Therefore, it caused him to get discontented and unhappy. Despite all, he acknowledged he had a great time working with The Miz. He also admitted that his storyline with ‘The Awesome One’ nudged him in the direction of being the fastest-rising star in SmackDown’s history.
