@@wildwine6400 WWE Smackdown and Raw are TV shows, but wrestling isn’t, hence why they put so much emphasis on live show reactions on the road and use those shows as basically a trial run. Get good reactions on the live shows, sell out arenas and you’ll get pushed on TV, unless a senile old man decides he doesn’t like you for whatever reason.
The 2023 Royal Rumble set a new all- time gate record, viewership of the event was up 52% from last year and the venue broke an all-time merchandise sales record. In short that ppv was huge, lots of people were paying attention.

You can see the humbleness in LA Knights face as he’s smiling . Before he was dead serious because he was putting in work . Now he’s being appreciated for him being that dude and he gets to see the reward of it

@@cameronventiquattro4256We may never know what his full level is since with WWE they are held back in how much they can go in a promo unscripted or shooting unlike attitude era where top and midcard wrestlers actually had freedom. Even with those limitations he is giving his very best.

@@Phenomenal_kaz it’s actually Logan Paul not jake Paul in it lol but he is in this for high spots with ricochet , it’s not a coincidence that those 2 just happen to be in that mitb match & that they had an amazing spot at the royal rumble when they hit each other with a crossbody mid air , The 2 I can likely see walking out with it are LA Knight & Damian Priest
Even Sheamus and Drew were confused, they never got this huge pop when they were heels. LA Knight has it all in store, his charisma, promo skills, all this organic hype is real. He is literally if The Rock and Steve Austin had a baby.
@@ChadTasteInMusic421 But the truth is he actually acts like babyface superstars and crowd is also the reason for that. The creative team made him to be a heel.
@@ChadTasteInMusic421 You are correct. Heels are cheered depending how good they have become and how easily they can control the crowd. Most heels have built themselves like that which takes months and years of work to be able to do that. But this guy *LA Knight* just generates extra terrestrial energy whenever he comes out and the crowd is forced to do nothing but cheer him. I personally had dibs on this guy since the day he joined NXT and have been a fan since his "Eli Drake" gimmick at TNA (impact). He is getting cheered every week and this is evident enough for WWE to push him to main event level and exploit his charisma.
It's so funny when LA Knight coming out with crowd pop loudly and start cut a promo while Drew and Sheamus keep staring at each AND HE STILL KEPT TALKING
he’s honestly been one of my favs since his time in impact as Eli Drake. the way he can manipulate a crowd is something i genuinely haven’t seen since the rock.
You could tell Drew and Sheamus were instructed by Vince, HHH, and the creative team to completely sandbag LA Knight in the segment by ignoring him and not acknowledging him when he was cutting a promo. LA Knight got himself over with fans in spite of the odds against him.
This man has the potential to change the future and bring in a new era into the wrestling world! For a lot of us, we have been waiting for this moment since the attitude era!
You have to be joking the dudes 40 and looks and wrestles like every generic create-a-wrestler he just maxed out charisma and still somehow has nothing original or entertaining to say
@@breazy832 it doesn’t necessarily have to be LA Knight, I’m hoping other wrestlers and young wrestlers can learn from what he’s doing and implement that within theirselves, it’s obvious how the fan base is obsessed with the attitude like charisma that he brings and it clearly shows that it works because he’s one of if not the hottest wrestler right now. And I’ll never understand the “he’s 40 argument”40’s the new 30’s in todays wrestling, Auska just won the championship and she’s 41, Nakamura is 43 Sheamus is 45 and there’s talks of giving him the grand slam! Brock and AJ Styles both 45, Lashley 46, Seth Rollins is almost 40 Romain is a year younger than LA Knight, Damien Priest is 40, fin Balor 41 and Edge is 50. Besides Seth and Roman LA is younger than all of them so what’s the difference between them and LA Knight? If they wanted to push LA Knight I’m sure he could do a lot in “let’s just say” 5 years! And I’m sure he could print WWE a lot of money in those years as well!
LA knight is the only wrestler that bridges the gap when it comes to old fans and new fans he’s a wrestler’s wrestler you could easily stick this guy in any era and he would’ve flourished
Its funny that it was at this moment LA Knight is a star. Sheamus and Drew were just talking to each other not paying attention and it would’ve made any superstar stumble but LA Knight held up, kept the wave goin and just made him even more badass
I remember at the HoF ceremony when the stars were coming out and everyone was clapping and there was mild applause. Then LA Knight came out and it was just unbelievable how loud a pop this man got. He just stood there for a moment and took it in. Even Triple H was shocked. You could tell he was like “We gotta push this guy before it’s too late”
I was there. I’m pretty sure most of us that are from DC and are wrestling fans knew that he grew up about 40 minutes down the road as well. He’s a great talent all around.
You're also seeing a shift in that the company is acknowledging how loved LA Knight is. The commentary team is acknowledging it, Knight is acknowledging it in promos "With everybody saying LA KNIGHT" and even Montez in his match with him did he acknowledge it.
Not the World title... But I can see him in Mid Card gold.. Like the intercontinental championship or the United States Championship. I can't see him defeating GUNTER.. but I can see him defeating AUSTIN THEORY.
I was there at that show. My first WWE event I attended in almost 10 years and It was great to see that I was not the only person who was a huge LA knight fan
I remember being there that night up in one of those suites and just cheering louder once I realized everyone else loved him too. Keep on turning heads, Knight!
I was at this episode with my gf and man we popped for him so hard, that was an amazing episode the crowd was hot all night! We love us some La Knight since he’s from Maryland so we will always support the megastar…..YEAHHH!
I remember this exact moment. This was def the moment he started getting more over, you can even see him smirking a bit in shock from the crowd’s reaction
He was getting over before that. You'd hear sections of fans yelling "Yeah!" I love to see guys get over organically. It's 10% then 25% then 50% of the crowd then one day BOOM everyone surrenders to this guy's rizz & just accepts it. The catch phrases land. The promos are fire. The matches are hot. Everything works. I live for that.
He's not going to win and that makes sense imo. Its a weird situation. I like LA knight, but I feel like Logan Paul is winning it. They could have him cash in on seth since they have history together.
When he was in CWFH, then even more so in Impact, I said he was the most ready made star for WWE possible. He was already a WWE superstar with the look, charisma and mic skills. I was certainly right about that, and it makes me happy to see him becoming this super over star.
As an Attitude Era kid, This guy is the spirit of the Attitude Era ❤️ & us Attitude Era fans support the man the got everybody saying, LA KNIGHT Yeeeaaaaaahhhhh!!!!! 💯
This dude deserves everything and more. He is without a doubt one of if not the most entertaining guy in wrestling right now. I haven't watched in four or five years but I've watched some clips and he just reminds me of Stone Cold and The rock. He has the charisma of the rock he's got the Mike skills A Little Rock but he's got this just incredible connection connection and trash-talking that Stone Cold had with the fans. It's awesome.

I am sure it had to be extra special for LA Knight to get that reaction as DC is in his backyard as a Marylander.
I love that little smirk while hes walking out.
Yeah!!!🤟 ✌️
Even the “cut the music” gesture to production has character to it, he put his personality into every little detail!

He's like a mix of stone cold and the rock.

I was in the building for that dc show atmosphere was incredible and the pop he got when his music hit you already knew he was gonna be a star

As an Attitude Era kid,
This guy is the spirit of the Attitude Era ❤️ & us Attitude Era fans support the man the got everybody saying,
LA KNIGHT
Yeeeaaaaaahhhhh!!!!! 💯
i was there live in attendance and can confirm that not only was i screaming YEEEEEAAAH but so were 5,000 other people
hes right you can hear it in the crowd, thats got to be an incredible feeling
Can you imagine how loud the pop would be if he wins Money in the Bank..with EVERYBODY saying L A KNIGHT YEEAAAH!
Every time this guy shows up and I'm not looking at the screen. I think it's the rock
This guy should be WWE Champion right now.
I love his San Andreas style entrance music
L.A. Knight is the 90s Star we needed.. His mic skills are the best in the WWE..
This dude deserves everything and more. He is without a doubt one of if not the most entertaining guy in wrestling right now. I haven't watched in four or five years but I've watched some clips and he just reminds me of Stone Cold and The rock. He has the charisma of the rock he's got the Mike skills A Little Rock but he's got this just incredible connection connection and trash-talking that Stone Cold had with the fans. It's awesome.
Wade Barrett’s fanboying for LA Knight makes it that much better. He’s us whenever Knight gets on screen.
The music hit is perfect...it's like the Austin glass break...in a split second you can change the temperature of the room
I don’t watch as much these days but still became a fan of LA Knights persona
It's also a strategy to come out when the crowd is tired of whatever conversation is happening in the ring. They're gonna be extra loud and thankful
He's himself with some Austin and Rock mixed in and it totally works
I was in that crowd. No fluff, this dude is hella over. Probably the loudest pop of the night next to Cody and reigns in the opener.
As someone who stopped watching in the early 2000’s, this is what was lacking. Love watching him come out and get the crowd so involved… YEAH!!
Its like a throwback to the 80s character.. love it
You had me at YEAH! 😂❤
For the first time in my 24 years of living in DC i finally feel a sense of pride for this city
