I always think of that one line from the Scott Pilgrim movie when I hear of this š
"You made me swallow my gum! That's going to be in my digestive tract for seven years!"
Iām both glad that he didnāt choke and that he was able to kind of improvise it as if he was just so caught up in the emotion that he couldnāt talk.
Tbf he'd chew it in a way that was extra obnoxious with big mouth movements as part of his character; but it made it far more difficult to have a moment like Knight's.
I remember him mentioning in a promo in TNA that he was restricted from chewing when he was in WWE too.
A former choir director said she had to perform a tracheotomy on a student who inhaled their gum.Ā She might have been lying to hammer the no gum in class policy, but we took it seriously.Ā
Itās so relatable, how many of us have done this just not in front of a live audience?
Knight handled it flawlessly so it just adds to the promo. Thatās a pro
*āYou thought I was choking?!? NAH-NAH!! Thatās what youāre gonna do at WrestleMania AJ!! Choke on the biggest stage of them all!! Courtesy of the Megastar, with everybody sayingā¦.*
*L*
*A*
*KNIGHT!*
*YEAHHHHH!!!ā*
I'm happy he is ok and can laugh about it.
The fact he just carried right on is one of the reasons I love him. Doesn't let things phase him.
I am a big football fan (soccer to those of you in the US), and there are constantly players chewing gum while playing, and it drives me nuts.
The worst person for chewing gum during segments is MJF. Hopefully he took notes and doesn't do it now since LA Knight had to be the guinea pig

That was hilarious
Looked like LA had to stifle a smile himself...š
Surprised he didn't say "chews of a champion, yeah!" and threw the mic.
According to my mom that'll get out of his system just in time by wrestlemania 48
Does it actually take that long for gum to pass? I know this is an exaggeration, but it takes long enough that it feels that way?
Itās a LOONG urban legend that gum takes awhile to pass through you but it happens almost the same time as anything else with sugar
Ah ok
Like how you tell kids they can't swim after they eat but in reality you're just trying to avoid them getting too worked up and puking in the pool
It just gets digested, I'd assume the same as anything else.
Worst thing I ever learned is that gum contains plastic as a base
It's all sugar. It shoots right through you.
Don't believe this man. He has a belly full of gum and finger nails.
Chewing your nails is how you get worms! - My kindergarten teacher scarring me for life 25 years ago
Technically that is possible but as long as you wash your hands regularly it's not a big deal
Don't forget the watermelons!
I always think of that one line from the Scott Pilgrim movie when I hear of this š "You made me swallow my gum! That's going to be in my digestive tract for seven years!"
That's around the same amount of time it took Iron Sheik to walk down the ramp at WM17
Well, that could have been worse causeĀ at least he didn't choke lmao.
Thought bro was about to die
Somebody heimlich this man!!!
Heidenreich?
Oh no

Bro when he locked into place on the ropes I fucking lost it, looked like Wile E Coyote when heās in place about to fall.
Thought he was having a stroke for a second
I legitimately thought that. I rewound it multiple times then heard what Graves said.
It was like he rebooted. YEAH
YEAH
YEAH
Reminded me of Taker's ''REST IN PEACEEE-BLGHRGGH''
What? Lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jw_Mj2u0DQM
Takes me back to Trips [weird snort thing](https://youtu.be/nEaDfldO4bI?si=4c-IAsnZ_GRa48zA) when he laughed during an interview.
The fucking wheeze at the end, big fella sounded like he had been smoking for 30 years š Kinda ironic, since he doesn't smoke or anything
LOL
Wasn't this right after the Katie Vick thing aired?
The phenomenal gum.
THE GUM COMMUNITY!?
This community meme shit always fucking gets me
THE MEME COMMUNITY??
This made me laugh way more than I expected. Thanks š
STOMPED OUT BY THE WHYGMYMPTHAHTMH
Iām both glad that he didnāt choke and that he was able to kind of improvise it as if he was just so caught up in the emotion that he couldnāt talk.
This is going viral lmao
The Looney Tunes ass noise he made when he choked on it has me crying
Im fucking dying of laughter at that, it was cartoonish as fuck
This dude took a quick beat, then spit the end to his sentence, perfect to be edited smoothly together. Mad credit.
This is like the "Shoes of a Champion" moment.
High on a gum
I love that announcer immediately called it out.
"I think I swallowed a fly!!!!!!!" -George Costanza
That gum went into business for itself
The gum was trying to fuck on me !!!
Thats fucking hilarious
He made it work. That's why he's the MEGA STAR
YEAH!!
I wouldnāt have even noticed if Corey didnāt say anything
I'm actually impressed with how he handled it. I would've been trying to cough it up for like a solid 1/2 minutes.
I thought he forgot his lines lol
Lmao i wondered what happened there
That was funny.
I laughed so damn loud at this. Literally had to rewind and watch again and somehow it was even funnier.
When chewing gum, you gotta do like Mr. Perfect and swat it out into the crowd before you get into the ring...
He could probably fart a bubble on AJ by tomorrow night, that'd be pretty impressive
LA Knight flavor
That's hilarious. The noise he made haha
Only wrestlers Iāve seen chew gum in every promo successfully was Heel Triple H and Heel Edge lol
I thought Ken Kennedy chewed gum a lot
Well they had to tell him how to chew his gum, and when they stopped he overchewed the hell out of that gum.
Tbf he'd chew it in a way that was extra obnoxious with big mouth movements as part of his character; but it made it far more difficult to have a moment like Knight's. I remember him mentioning in a promo in TNA that he was restricted from chewing when he was in WWE too.
He played it off well haha
I'm in the arena I thought he just stumbled during the promo thanks for the update
Gummy YEAH!
That shit was hilarious š¤£
That was a pretty good save
The fact that the crowd caught on immediately , means it has happened to them more often than not
Gum of a Champion
CHEWS OF A CHAMPION. YEEEAAAAHHH
Gum of a champion
Great job playing it off
So I'm guessing he'll leave the gum backstage during his next promo lmao.
You made me swallow my gum
A former choir director said she had to perform a tracheotomy on a student who inhaled their gum.Ā She might have been lying to hammer the no gum in class policy, but we took it seriously.Ā
I thought nothing of it until Graves said something, I just took it as him being so full of rage and fired up lol
this is legendary
Bro choked on gum and still cut a fire promo. This man can do no wrong
AJ planted that gum in his pocket!
Itās so relatable, how many of us have done this just not in front of a live audience? Knight handled it flawlessly so it just adds to the promo. Thatās a pro
I genuinely wonder what would have happend had he choked and needed someone to do the heimlich. How do you recover your image from that lmao.
*āYou thought I was choking?!? NAH-NAH!! Thatās what youāre gonna do at WrestleMania AJ!! Choke on the biggest stage of them all!! Courtesy of the Megastar, with everybody sayingā¦.* *L* *A* *KNIGHT!* *YEAHHHHH!!!ā*
Where is that gum? He tried to fuck on me!
Wow his gum decided to go into business for themselves and put themselves over during his promo
 Couldāve ended up like this
This was amazing. "Blehghdsabfargh" **"YEAH!"**
This is reason why Curt Hennig was *perfect*: He was smart enough to spit his gum out (and swat it out of the air without fail) before every match!
YEAH!
At first, I thought it was a Mr. Kennedy ^Kennedy shot. Boy, was I wrong.
Funniest thing I've seen lately. Absolutely dying from laughter right now. You've no idea how many times I've rewatched this scene.
/r/BetterEveryLoop "Stomped down by the BLERGEER" *rebooting head shake*

that was quite awkward
Mr Kenderson catching strays lmao
Iām here to kick ass and chew bubble gum *swallows gum* And Iām all out of bubble gum
The worst person for chewing gum during segments is MJF. Hopefully he took notes and doesn't do it now since LA Knight had to be the guinea pig 
Wandavision-esque Iykyk
Styles wishing he had the easiest victory lap
Shades of Mr. āThey wouldnāt even let me chew gum, nom nom nom nom nomā Andersonā¦Anderson
Think LA Knight jumped the shark there. His Howard Dean moment.
This is the highlight of his career. šššš
If he had swallowed a fly instead, at least he would have doubled his brainpower and wrestling ability.
Knight is a real problem. He needs to go back to TNA. This terrible experiment is finishedĀ
