The Miz went face-to-face with LA Knight this week on Monday Night RAW.
The Miz cut a promo on Monday’s show complaining about the disrespect he was shown after being forced to wait for a photo shoot by LA Knight earlier during the day.
Knight hit the ring, happily introducing himself, thus eliciting a verbal back and forth where The Miz called him an “Attitude Era fanboy” and Knight concluded he had been making himself a “dangerous man” while WWE kept betting on the wrong horses, including The Hollywood A-Lister.
Knight noted that he didn’t mind making The Miz a stepping stone in his pursuit to be in the main event. The two nearly fought before The Miz began to act like he was leaving, then nailed Knight with a cheap shot and attempted a Skull Crushing Finale, only to be hit with Blunt Force Trauma.
