In a recent WWE Live Event in Chattanooga, Tennessee, LA Knight secured a vital win over Santos Escobar, advancing him to the next round of the King of the Ring tournament. Following his victory, The Megastar took to social media to express his gratitude to the electrifying crowd and sent a bold message to none other than Nick Aldis, the general manager of SmackDown. Knight tweeted, “Chattanooga, you were LOUD! And @RealNickAldis, keep the crown ready! #KingOfTheRing”.
As Knight prepares to face Tama Tonga of The Bloodline in the next round, the WWE Universe is buzzing with anticipation. This upcoming match has the potential to be a turning point in the tournament, and Knight’s confidence is palpable. However, before focusing on his next opponent, Knight couldn’t help but throw shade at his long-time rival, AJ Styles.
The two superstars have a rich history, with LA Knight notably defeating Styles at WrestleMania XL. Since then, their paths have crossed on SmackDown, with Styles seeking revenge by defeating Knight last month. Although Styles recently fell to Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes at Backlash France, the tension between him and Knight remains palpable. In a recent post, Knight referred to giving Styles a bloody nose ahead of their match at WrestleMania XL, hinting that their rivalry is far from over.
While the long-term plans for LA Knight and AJ Styles are unclear, many fans are hoping for a rekindling of their rivalry. With Styles lacking a solid individual storyline, a renewed feud with Knight could be the spark he needs to get back on track. On the other hand, Knight faces a tough road ahead, with potential matches against Randy Orton or Carmelo Hayes if he manages to overcome Tama Tonga and The Bloodline.
As the King of the Ring tournament heats up, LA Knight’s message to Nick Aldis serves as a warning to his competitors: he’s coming for the crown, and no one will stand in his way. With his sights set on Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where the premium live event is set to take place later this month, Knight is hungry for victory. Will he emerge victorious, or will The Bloodline and other contenders stand in his way? One thing is certain – LA Knight is on a mission to be crowned the King of the Ring, and the WWE Universe is eagerly awaiting the outcome.
