On the August 28 episode of WWE Raw, The Miz impersonated LA Knight in a segment that was polarizing for a lot of reasons.
This was one of many segments that WWE put together in the entertaining storyline that culminated at Payback, with LA Knight walking out the victor over the A-lister.
Speaking on his Kliq This podcast, Kevin Nash weighed in on the segment, poking fun at The Miz.
“I was watching the segment and they shot it like a wide shot and down came LA Knight. Started cutting a promo, and then they went close on him, and it was Miz. Miz fucking just nailed LA Knight. ‘I got the bass in my voice, yeah!’ He did this whole gimmick and then shot a really good shoot promo. I understand that people really like LA Knight, but if the Miz, and you watch the Miz do The Rock, you watch him do Stone Cold (Steve Austin), you watch him do other superstars that have been in this business, it’s an impression that doesn’t touch. This was spot fucking on because you’re basically impersonating an Elvis impersonator, you’re not impersonating Elvis. It was unbelievable how good it was. Miz, you were my highlight of Raw,”
Kevin Nash
Knight has moved on to a rivalry with Austin Theory and Grayson Waller, while The Miz seems to be working with John Cena, who was the special guest referee for the bout at Payback.
