A significant groundswell of support has erupted online for LA Knight, with fans initiating a #WeWantLAKnight movement to demand he receive a substantial push into the main event scene. The frustration from his supporters has intensified, questioning WWE’s booking decisions and drawing parallels to other top stars.
One fan articulated a common sentiment on Twitter, expressing disappointment with established names winning major opportunities again. “Seth Rollins won MITB 11 years ago, it’s not fresh and it’s not interesting,” the user posted. “If Damian Priest can win a World Title, Jey Uso can win a World Title, why can’t LA Knight? 3 years in a row, people wanted it and WWE refused to budge. They can give fans R-Truth but not LA Knight?”
The reference to R-Truth is particularly timely, as he recently acknowledged that the fan-driven #WeWantTruth campaign was directly responsible for his WWE return. Following his release announcement on June 1, an overwhelming online movement led to his reinstatement and surprise appearance at Money in the Bank. R-Truth confirmed the campaign’s impact, stating, “No cap, #WeWantTruth was seen, heard, felt and understood… We made history together.” This successful fan initiative has seemingly inspired those advocating for LA Knight.
Fans Rally Online with #WeWantLAKnight
The burgeoning movement for LA Knight is rapidly gaining momentum, with one user noting the hashtag was already trending with nearly 9,000 posts. “Look at what continues to trend… 👀 Justice for LA Knight #WeWantLAKnight,” they wrote, describing the surge as a revolution.
Supporters are also bringing up past management comments and expert predictions to bolster their case. Another fan recalled Triple H advising patience after LA Knight’s loss in the 2023 Money in the Bank match, while a different post featured a clip of Paul Heyman’s prior endorsement of Knight as a future top star, accompanied by the caption, “A Wise Man once said: #WeWantLAKnight.” With fans emboldened by the recent success of the R-Truth campaign, all eyes are on WWE to see if this new wave of support will finally result in a world title run for LA Knight.
