The WWE Superstar Addresses Comparisons to Bryan Danielson’s ‘Yes’ Movement
LA Knight’s meteoric ascent in WWE has been nothing short of impressive. Over the past few months, he has carved out a niche for himself, becoming one of the company’s standout performers. His charisma and undeniable talent have resonated with the WWE Universe, earning him raucous cheers and admiration.
However, with success come inevitable comparisons. Many fans have likened LA Knight’s surge in popularity to Bryan Danielson’s iconic ‘Yes’ movement, a comparison that Knight himself has addressed.
During a recent appearance on SHAK Wrestling, LA Knight was questioned about the parallels drawn between his rise and Danielson’s movement. He revealed that fans have even dubbed his ascent as the ‘YEAH’ movement, a nod to one of his popular catchphrases. However, Knight was quick to distance himself from such comparisons.
“‘Oh, boy,’ Knight exclaimed. ‘You never know. But, you know, that’s why people online started calling it the YEAH Movement. And I’m like, why are we doing that? It’s so close to Yes [Movement], don’t do that. I’d rather call it a revolution because that’s what I feel more like it is. But you know, whatever. At this point, they’ve already done it.'”
Knight’s sentiments underscore his desire to carve out his own legacy in WWE, independent of any comparisons. His unique blend of charisma and in-ring prowess has already set him apart, and it’s evident that he’s on a trajectory to achieve even greater heights.
With rumors swirling about a significant push for LA Knight post-Fastlane, fans are eagerly awaiting what’s next for the superstar. As the year progresses, seeing how WWE capitalizes on his momentum will be intriguing.
