5 Ups & 2 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Sept 15)
4. Another Strong Win For LA Knight
Things are finally rolling weekly for Mr. LA Knight. He picked up another cracking win over The Miz on this week's SmackDown, then grabbed a mic to delight the fans with a killer promo about going for gold. Better yet, Knight kept things open for tilts at the Undisputed, Intercontinental or United States belts.
What a guy.
WWE would be wise to pull the trigger on his mega-push as a champion ASAP though, because LA is clearly one of the most over workers in the entire promotion. Everything he touches turns to gold (ahem) right now, and that's very, very promising. It's genuinely lovely to report that even better days await too.
Side note: The Miz deserves a pat on the back for helping LA look like a million bucks throughout their series. He's gone above and beyond to give Knight a leg-up on the roster, and has selflessly put himself second. Maybe the "what a guy" line should be reserved for him.
