The Miz Says It Was ‘Very, Very Easy’ To Impersonate LA Knight On 8/28 Monday Night RAW

The Miz reflects on impersonating LA Knight back in August.

The Miz looks back on impersonating LA Knight during their rivalry back in August.

Back in September, LA Knight and Miz squared off in a pair of singles contest at WWE Payback and on an episode of Friday Night SmackDown respectively, with Knight winning both contests. However, prior to their meeting at the September 2nd Premium Live Event, the two would have several segments where they got under each other’s skin.

One such segment was back on August 28th, on an episode of Monday Night RAW when The Miz decided to impersonate Knight.

While speaking to TNT Sports, The Miz was asked about working with Knight and impersonating him. The former Intercontinental Champion noted that he ‘had a blast’ working with Knight.

“I had a blast working with LA Knight because he’s the type of character that you can really lock in and like kind of make fun of right, and you know he’s gonna spit fire back to you and so you know like you need to come guns blazing like you need to come correct when you 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 and he brought it. I brought it and I thought we created such a great rivalry and honestly I think we had two matches.It’s kind of the beginning to me. I feel like there’s there’s more that could happen. But man, what an incredible talent, what a rise you know and how about the WWE universe not not getting tired and that’s to credit to him for the WWE Universe not getting tired because a lot of times you see a lot of these guys, the rockets there and you see them come and they crash and fall.”

Miz continued, noting that his imitation of Knight was very, very easy.

“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 now to imitate him was very, very easy because I mean he’s a person that you can actually imitate. That what’s really hard is when you have a person that doesn’t really have a character or catch phrases or anything you can’t make, you can’t imitate them. That’s difficult.”

Miz would also note that while he was backstage preparing for his segment where he impersonated LA Knight, he was mistaken for the legitimate one.

“It’s very easy to imitate someone that has a character has catchphrases. I mean like it’s like, I had so much fun and it was 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 today and it’s like, yep.”
