LA Knight continues to break down The Miz headed into WWE Payback.
For the first time in over a year, The Miz is scheduled to compete in a singles match at a premium live event for WWE, as he'll take on his heated rival, LA Knight.
The two stars have been engaged in a feud in recent weeks, with Knight often saying that The Miz is jealous of him, and Miz saying that Knight is just a ripoff of the Attitude Era.
In a new interview with Claibs Online, Knight talked about his feud with Miz and said that the 'A-Lister' got the biggest reaction of his career when he dressed up as Knight on a recent episode of Raw.
“Well, I mean if you look at what Michael Cole said on SmackDown a couple weeks ago, he said The Miz is jealous, which is a double down on what you just said and I’d have to agree. I think I showed up on Raw a couple nights after winning the Slim Jim Battle Royale, had to go in and do a couple photo shoots and stuff like that, and here he is getting upset about it. I don’t know, this past Monday, he dressed up like me and that makes sense doesn’t it? He is jealous of me, and you know why? Because he’s always wanted to be me. I’m not saying he knew who LA Knight was years ago, what I mean is that he wanted the level of success that I’ve come across. He wanted the adulation that I’ve come across, he’s wanted the reactions that I’ve gotten, people chanting his name, quoting him. Instead, the best reaction he’s ever got in his entire career was walking out as me a couple nights ago on Raw.”
Knight also went on to say that Miz only cosplays as guys that are on a completely different level than him.
“He was talking about me doing cosplay, here is he actually literally doing cosplay and he’s doing cosplay of three guys that are all on a completely different level from him if you notice. He’s putting me on that same level with them, and putting himself on another level which is below all of us.”
