Even AEW fans agree that we’re all idiots and that LA Knight has the upper hand. Soon after Wednesday’s “AEW Dynamite,” a video showed fans outside of Boston’s TD Garden showing how much they liked the superstar. “Yo, yo, I got a question. Whose game is it?” one fan asked a group of fans, prompting the crowd to collectively answer “LA Knight … Yeah!”

Knight’s rising fame will be shown again tonight on “WWE SmackDown” when the former Eli Drake faces Rey Mysterio, Sheamus, and Cameron Grimes in a fatal-four-way match as part of Austin Theory’s United States Championship Invitational.
The winner of this match will face Santos Escobar in the final of the tournament to find Theory’s next title rival. Escobar has already beaten AJ Styles, BUTCH, and Grayson Waller. WWE hasn’t confirmed it yet, but it’s possible that the winner of the tournament will face Theory for the US Title at the upcoming SummerSlam event.
Even though Knight hasn’t had a live match since the Money in the Bank ladder match, WWE has found ways to give the megastar exposure because fans want to see him at every show. The “Yeah! Movement” has also taken over social media, with many fans retweeting and sharing old videos of the wrestler in “WWE NXT” tests, ads, infomercials, and acting auditions before he made it to WWE’s main roster.
Even WWE’s official Twitter account confirmed this with a “He’s Everywhere” tweet earlier this month, much to the joy of the “SmackDown” superstar’s growing fan base.
