LA Knight discloses whether or not he likes a major part of his WWE character
LA Knight has commented on whether he likes his popular catchphrase 'Yeah!' It's a big part of his character and it's very over with the WWE Universe.
The Megastar is one of the top babyfaces in the company, and he still gets a good reaction whenever he shows up on TV. The fans love saying his catchphrase, and it would be hard to imagine the wrestling veteran without it. He didn't begin saying it when he signed with WWE, however, as it was also a big part of his character back in TNA when he was known as Eli Drake.
Speaking to Cody Rhodes on the latest episode of the What Do You Wanna Talk About? show, LA Knight was asked whether he has grown fond of the 'Yeah!' catchphrase. He stated that it's important for him to like it, as it's done very well for him.
"I have to love it because it's done very well for me. Put it that way. But, yeah, I mean, sometimes then I hear my own voice and I'm like all right, that's enough. When the thing that messes me up now is I'm going through the airport or the grocery store, the gas station whatever, now I'm hearing people go, 'YEAH!' I'm like, 'Are they talking to me or are they just?' And I'm like if I hear it again, maybe I'll look but otherwise, I'm just minding my business. But that can be kind of confusing," said Knight.

Could LA Knight put an end to Logan Paul's US Title run at WWE SummerSlam?
The Megastar vs. The Maverick for the United States Championship is almost confirmed for The Biggest Party of the Summer. Last week on SmackDown, LA Knight signed a contract that guaranteed him a match for the US Title at SummerSlam.
Nick Aldis' signature was already there, and it's only left Logan Paul to sign on the dotted lines. If the bout becomes official, LA Knight could dethrone Paul at the upcoming premium live event to win his first major championship in WWE. It'll be interesting to see how things lay out.
