The Miz has opened up about his WWE feud with LA Knight and the reaction to his impersonation by those backstage.

Fresh off the victory in the SummerSlam Battle Royal, LA Knight entered a feud with The Miz that would culminate on WWE SmackDown in September 2023, and included a match at Payback with John Cena as referee.

In an interview with TNT Sports, The Miz reflected on the feud, saying:

“I had a blast working with LA Knight because he’s the type of character that you can, you can really lock in and like kind of make fun of right, and you know he’s gonna spit fire back to you. So you know you need to come guns blazing. You need to come correct.

“When you step up, and you’re on the microphone with an LA Knight, you need to make sure that you are at the top of your game, that your mind is clear, and that you are ready to go.”

The Miz also reflected on LA Knight’s growing popularity in 2023, adding:

“What an incredible talent. What a rise. You know, and how about the WWE Universe, not getting tired? And that’s the credit to him for the WWE Universe not getting tired because a lot of times you see a lot of these guys the rocket’s there and you see them come and they crash and fall a couple months later.

“He’s been doing this now in WWE I’d say for a year this trajectory, this wave has been coming and he’s been able to evolve, been able to stick to his guns and literally go out there and do incredible stuff.”

Knight was also impersonated by The Miz, which fooled some backstage at WWE, with Miz stating:

“I had so much fun. It’s funny, backstage when I was kind of going over my head and kind of getting his voice like I was trying to get into the character so I had all this stuff on, people were mistaking me as LA Knight. They’re like ‘What’s LA Knight doing here.’ I was like ‘Yup, got it!'”

The Miz impersonated LA Knight on the August 28, 2023, episode of WWE Raw, which can be seen below this news story.

Triple H has also recently spoken about the decision to push LA Knight which has included a championship match against Roman Reigns at WWE Crown Jewel.

In contrast, Matt Hardy has claimed that Vince McMahon didn’t see the value in LA Knight.
