WWE Superstar LA Knight has become a sensation among fans. Now, Knight’s popularity has reached new heights, as even weathermen are imitating him.
A TikTok video showcased a meteorologist incorporating Knight’s catchphrases into his live forecast, sparking viral attention. In the TikTok video, shared by the weatherman Mike Dandrea, he begins his forecast with the iconic line, “Let me talk to ya,” which Knight frequently uses to engage the audience during his promos. This alone could be seen as a coincidence, but the parallels continue.
The phrases used by the weatherman were all pulled directly from a specific promo that Knight delivered before his clash with Logan Paul in the Money in the Bank ladder match. The weatherman even incorporates Knight’s line about basketball cleats being as useless as the situation he is forecasting.
The weatherman’s imitation of Knight has not only caught the attention of wrestling fans but has also gained traction beyond the wrestling community. The video’s virality suggests that Knight’s popularity extends beyond the traditional wrestling fanbase.
@realmikedandrea This was too much fun. YEAH! @WWE #wrestling#wwe#weather#fyp#laknight
Why Is LA Knight So Popular In WWE?
Knight’s rise to popularity is attributed to his impressive promo skills, charisma, and connection with the audience. Despite LA Knight’s criticisms from WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash, who likened Knight’s mic delivery to a poor imitation of The Rock‘s iconic style, Knight has managed to win over fans with his throwback mannerisms and promo style reminiscent of the Attitude Era.
Although WWE has yet to fully capitalize on Knight’s popularity, fans remain optimistic about his future. While he may have missed out on opportunities like the Money in the Bank ladder match and a shot at the United States Championship, fans are eagerly waiting for what’s to come for Knight.
