WWE SmackDown aired a best-of 2023 special for their December 29th episode. Some fans didn’t think that there would be any notable moments on the show, but the opening segment of the program included LA Knight breaking out a throwback signature that some fans miss.

LA Knight and the Dummies
LA Knight used to call everyone a “dummy” before he landed in WWE. That trend didn’t continue in WWE for some reason, but he never killed the idea. In fact, he seemed open to the prospect of bringing back his Namer of Dummies moniker.
While speaking to Chris Val Vliet months ago, LA Knight was asked about bringing “dummy” back. He said that 90% of fans in WWE don’t even know that he used to pop TNA Wrestling crowds with that word for years prior to becoming a WWE Superstar.
“I’ve considered. Some people want it, but 90% of the people probably don’t even know. Could it come back? Maybe sprinkle it in here or there, you never know.”

LA Knight Says Dummy in WWE
LA Knight opened up the SmackDown December 29th special episode with a little promo on 2023. He said “yeah” and was his trademark self. Then he closed out the segment by ordering them to “get to the clips, dummy.”

That marks the first time that LA Knight has said dummy on WWE television, but it’s not the first time he’s said in a WWE ring. In October, LA Knight used dummy a couple of times during an in-ring promo about the Bloodline, but it didn’t make the air.
LA Knight may fill 2024 with a new trademark word, because he has definitely cashed in on the dummy word in the past.
