The Rock's return to WrestleMania is electrifying, but let's not sugarcoat it, Jabronis. This legendary return might have some unintended consequences. Here at Don't Say It, we're looking at you, LA Knight.
LA Knight was on a roll. His promos were electric, dripping with charisma and a certain swagger. You couldn't help but draw comparisons to another charismatic mic master – The Rock himself. But with The Rock officially back in the fold, is LA Knight suddenly looking a bit…derivative?

Don't get us wrong, Knight isn't a carbon copy. But the undeniable similarities in their promo styles – the eyebrow raise, the braggadocio, the way they command the audience – might make Knight feel a bit less special now that The Rock is back on the scene.

Here's the concern: Did The Rock's return inadvertently diminish LA Knight's potential? Was Knight a great build-up for a future Rock feud that's now off the table? Did WWE rely too heavily on those comparisons when building Knight's character, leaving him vulnerable when the real Rock stepped back into the spotlight?
We understand the nostalgia factor of The Rock. But WWE needs to be careful not to overshadow their rising stars. Hopefully, they have a plan to help LA Knight carve out his own unique path, one that doesn't rely on comparisons to the Great One. After all, the wrestling world needs more than one electrifying microphone maestro, right Jabronis? Let's see LA Knight step out of The Rock's shadow and shine on his own terms.
