YEAH!
The crowd was massively behind him on Smackdown. Surely a push is coming after this?

Its a WM weekend crowd. Fandango didn't win any world championships and he was over, too.

I'd imagine, he is someone who's at least kept pretty prominent a lot of the time and he is definitely very over right now.
That said they really should've had him steal the Andre from Lashley. He'd have benefited from it way the hell more and could actually get material out of bringing it up and comparing himself to Andre and stuff as opposed to how Lashley posed next to the trophy and probably will subsequently never bring it up again.

Surely a push is coming after this? It would seem the most sensible and straight forward thing to do. So no. |

Crowd died a death when he was eliminated. Lashley gained nothing from winning the Trophy like LA Knight could have sold the shit out of it
Thie Battle Royal had one chance to mean something with how much they were into Knight, but Lashley needed his consolation prize after he got booted from the Mania card, and frankly it sucks.

Its a WM weekend crowd. Fandango didn't win any world championships and he was over, too. It was LA, it was his Hometown Wasn't a "Fandango" crowd and if you've just been ignoring just about every time Knight comes out and gets big pops and everyone's saying "YEAH!" since even before the Rumble along with him then idk what to tell you. |

It'd wild to me that somehow being over with a "WM weekend crowd" is a condemnation or any sort of way to invalidate it. Like, damn, he's over with the most dedicated, loudest, and highest-paying fans who fly out cross-country or across the world to see these shows? And that's like. A reason not to push him? Excuse me? |

Friendly reminder that Fandango was massively over until he was injured around Money in the Bank that year, and WWE didn't do anything with him until 2016 even trying to repackage him Val Venis 2000 style in late 2014. |

And also that Breezango also got very over and they did jack shit with them too. |

"I can be just like you. "Hi everyone, I'm LA Mysterio, I'm a dead beat dad!""
That line the other week cracked me up.
He's got the gift of the gab. When you've got that, you can win the crowd to your side in any storyline, no matter how stupid.

I dont think Fandango was particularly over. The bored crowd sang to his music and WWE interpreted it as him being over, and it caught on. I don't think it was ever about him.

It's been crazy to watch dude slowly building up his fanbase more and more since he debuted on the main roster. I think it took legit like only 2 weeks for YEAH to get over.

I have only known him since he debuted as Maximum Male Models and even then I was like "Oh...this dudes got something." He plays the LA Knight character perfect so I get why he went back to it. Easily one of their most charismatic guys right now. Need to see him eat a stunner at Mania then move on to feud with Sheamus over the IC title (while Gunther gets bumped up to Money in the Bank / King of the Ring).

Its a WM weekend crowd. Fandango didn't win any world championships and he was over, too. I'll take Dirty Dango (Fandango on a local wrestling card that's being held in my state) over LA Knight. I will be glad to check out a LA Knight promo so I can have a more informed opinion next time. |

I don’t understand it myself. I'm in the same boat, and I've yet to see anything that explains the love for this guy. This the guy who thought "Dummy, yeah" was a killer catchphrase, right? And suddenly he's the best promo in the business? |

If Theory beats Cena, turn LA face and he can be the older veteran that shuts the punk kid up and takes his title. I think that fued can elevate both guys
