Having had the most liked tweet on the official WWE Twitter account for all of SummerSlam, LA Knight’s popularity is somewhat undeniable.
Dave Meltzer addressed the popularity of the star on Wrestling Observer Radio, saying:
“The one segment in the Raw ratings – there’s ups and downs and all that through the show of course – but the one segment that did way over what the best segment would normally do was the Miz and LA Knight thing.
“So if you’re wondering about LA Knight, he’s selling merch, he’s getting pops, does it translate to ratings? The answer is yes, it does. It worked.”
