WWE Superstar LA Knight has taken to social media to express his gratitude towards live event crowds, urging fans not to disparage them. This comes on the heels of a heated reaction from fans after his King of The Ring tournament match against Santos Escobar was scheduled to take place at a live event in Chattanooga, rather than on the latest edition of WWE SmackDown.
Knight, who has garnered immense popularity among the WWE Universe, was noticeably absent from the latest SmackDown episode, much to the dismay of his fans. The announcement of his match against Escobar being relegated to the Chattanooga live event sparked a fierce backlash on social media. However, Knight silenced his critics by defeating Escobar at the event, advancing to the quarterfinals of the King of The Ring tournament.
In response to a fan’s tweet expressing disappointment over the match not being featured on SmackDown, Knight replied, “Hey, let’s not forget, these live events are where we get to interact with you guys, the fans. Let’s not throw them under the bus.” Knight’s message was met with widespread approval, with fans acknowledging the importance of live events in fostering a connection between the WWE Superstars and the audience.
Knight’s popularity has shown no signs of waning, with the Megastar continuously receiving thunderous applause from the crowd. His quest for the King of The Ring crown, however, is set to face stiff competition, particularly in his upcoming quarterfinal match against The Bloodline’s Tama Tonga. Tonga, who remains undefeated since joining WWE, will undoubtedly pose a significant challenge for Knight.
Despite the obstacles ahead, a King of The Ring win would be a monumental career boost for Knight, cementing his status as a main event fixture. As the tournament progresses, fans will be eagerly watching to see if The Megastar can overcome the odds and emerge victorious.
