LA Knight may be telling everybody ‘YEAH’ but he isn’t fond of his popularity being compared to Bryan Danielson’s ‘YES! Movement’.
The fan-based movement of the 2010s resulted in Danielson (Daniel Bryan at the time) capturing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 30 in 2014.
Speaking to “SHAK Wrestling,” Knight was asked about the comparisons to the YES! Movement and a potential match with the American Dragon. He said,
“Oh boy! 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 will team up with John Cena to face The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa & Jimmy Uso) at tonight’s WWE Fastlane 2023 pay-per-view event.
Danielson competed at last weekend’s AEW WrestleDream 2023 pay-per-view event, where he defeated IWGP U.S./UK Heavyweight Champion Zack Sabre Jr. in non-title action.
