The WWE universe witnessed a fiery exchange recently as LA Knight, the charismatic superstar, didn’t hold back when responding to Drew McIntyre’s claim of snagging his SlimJim sponsorship deal.
It all began when McIntyre, fresh off his Men’s Elimination Chamber triumph, boasted on social media about supposedly grabbing Knight’s endorsement deal.
Knight, who has been representing SlimJim in the WWE since their partnership debut at SummerSlam last year, wasn’t about to let McIntyre’s claim go unchallenged.
Despite McIntyre’s attempt to stir the pot with his SlimJim sponsorship post, Knight had a sharp retort ready.
In a witty retort on X, Knight corrected McIntyre’s grammar while firmly denying any loss of sponsorship:
“Well first: its “I’ve taken” not “I’ve took” And second: nah nah,”
Knight asserted in his response.
The tension between the two escalated further as they clashed on SmackDown in the lead-up to Elimination Chamber, marking the beginning of a brief but intense feud.
Their confrontation culminated inside the unforgiving steel structure of the Elimination Chamber, where McIntyre ultimately pinned Knight to secure victory.

However, Knight’s Elimination Chamber journey took a tumultuous turn when he found himself on the receiving end of a vicious assault by none other than former WWE Champion, AJ Styles.
This attack stemmed from Knight’s accidental interference in a previous match where he inadvertently cost Styles a shot at the Elimination Chamber qualifier against McIntyre on SmackDown.
In a surprising turn of events, Styles seized the opportunity for payback during the Elimination Chamber match itself.
Sneaking into the steel structure during a momentary opening, Styles unleashed a brutal assault on Knight, culminating in a punishing Styles Clash. McIntyre wasted no time seizing the advantage and swiftly eliminated Knight from the match.
Styles’ relentless pursuit of revenge, even at the cost of a long journey to Australia, earned him the moniker of “true hater” among WWE fans.
The ongoing drama between these superstars promises more thrilling confrontations in the days to come, keeping the WWE universe on the edge of their seats.
