The latest episode of WWE SmackDown saw a dramatic turn of events, as tensions ran high between LA Knight and Carmelo Hayes, leading to a heated confrontation backstage. The altercation took place after The Megastar was defeated by Tama Tonga in a highly anticipated match.
The incident unfolded when Carmelo Hayes, fresh from his relocation to the blue brand as part of the 2024 WWE Draft, approached LA Knight during an interview. Hayes, in an attempt to assert his presence, demanded that Knight welcome him to the new roster. However, The Megastar was not one to back down, and a fiery exchange ensued. Knight, refusing to be intimidated, reminded Hayes of whose game it was, sparking a heated debate between the two superstars.
Things took a physical turn when Knight, still seething from his earlier loss to Tama Tonga, shoved Carmelo Hayes. The situation looked poised to escalate, but veteran referee Charles Robinson stepped in just in time to prevent a full-blown brawl from erupting.
In a bizarre twist, LA Knight went on to wish Carmelo Hayes good luck in his match against Randy Orton later that night. Despite the gesture, Hayes’s fortunes didn’t improve, as he too fell victim to an RKO out of nowhere, resulting in a pinfall loss.
The dramatic confrontation and subsequent losses for both LA Knight and Carmelo Hayes have left fans wondering what’s next for these two WWE superstars. Will they be able to put their differences aside and focus on their respective careers, or will the tension continue to simmer just beneath the surface, waiting to boil over again? One thing is certain – the WWE universe will be keeping a close eye on these two stars as they navigate the complex web of alliances and rivalries on SmackDown.
