LA Knight Claims The Miz Received His Career’s Best Reaction While Impersonating Him

LA Knight is intensifying his verbal assault on The Miz in the lead-up to WWE Payback.

Marking his return to singles competition, The Miz is set to face LA Knight, in a clash that has been brewing for weeks. The feud between these two stars has been marked by Knight’s claims that The Miz harbors jealousy towards him, while The Miz accuses Knight of being an imitation of the Attitude Era.

In an interview with Claibs Online, LA Knight discussed the ongoing rivalry with The Miz, shedding light on their conflicting dynamics. Knight acknowledged that The Miz got a lot of attention when he impersonated Knight during this past week’s episode of WWE RAW.

Addressing the underlying sentiments in their feud, Knight stated, “Well, I mean if you look at what Michael Cole said on SmackDown a couple weeks ago, he said The Miz is jealous, which is a double down on what you just said and I’d have to agree.” He continued by sharing his perspective on The Miz’s actions, explaining that they stem from a sense of jealousy and a desire to emulate Knight’s level of success.

“Well, I mean if you look at what Michael Cole said on SmackDown a couple weeks ago, he said The Miz is jealous, which is a double down on what you just said and I’d have to agree. I think I showed up on Raw a couple nights after winning the Slim Jim Battle Royale, had to go in and do a couple photo shoots and stuff like that, and here he is getting upset about it. I don’t know, this past Monday, he dressed up like me and that makes sense doesn’t it? He is jealous of me, and you know why? Because he’s always wanted to be me. I’m not saying he knew who LA Knight was years ago, what I mean is that he wanted the level of success that I’ve come across. He wanted the adulation that I’ve come across, he’s wanted the reactions that I’ve gotten, people chanting his name, quoting him. Instead, the best reaction he’s ever got in his entire career was walking out as me a couple nights ago on Raw.”

Knight also emphasized that The Miz only cosplays as individuals who stand on a significantly higher pedestal than him.

“He was talking about me doing cosplay, here is he actually literally doing cosplay and he’s doing cosplay of three guys that are all on a completely different level from him if you notice. He’s putting me on that same level with them, and putting himself on another level which is below all of us.”

As the WWE Payback event draws near, the tension between LA Knight and The Miz continues to escalate. Wrestling fans are eagerly anticipating the outcome of their clash, curious to see how their fiery rivalry will culminate in the squared circle.
