WWE Superstar LA Knight has some words for AJ Styles before this week’s Friday Night SmackDown.
Ever since AJ Styles blindsided him during last month’s Men’s Elimination Chamber match, LA Knight has been itching for payback.
Despite his attempts, Knight hasn’t been able to confront Styles as he’s been absent from shows. Feeling frustrated, Knight challenged Styles to a match at Wrestlemania 40, which Styles accepted after another surprise attack.

Following last week’s show, AJ Styles announced he wouldn’t be appearing at upcoming events, saving their showdown for Wrestlemania 40.
Knight has now responded ahead of this week’s SmackDown, showing confidence in facing Styles whenever the opportunity arises.
Fans are buzzing with speculation, wondering if this feud might escalate into a home invasion storyline, akin to Triple H and Randy Orton’s epic clash in 2009.
“No #SmackDown huh? No problem,”
Knight tweeted confidently.
In other news, The Rock’s anticipated return to WWE in a full-time capacity leading up to Wrestlemania 40 has stirred up excitement in the wrestling world.
When asked about The Great One’s comeback in a recent interview, LA Knight shared his thoughts.
He acknowledged The Rock’s potential to enhance the product but pointed out that WWE was already thriving without him.
LA Knight gives his thoughts on The Rock coming back to WWE & how it impacts the company moving forward:

Knight suggested that while The Rock could contribute positively, there’s also a possibility that his presence might overshadow existing talents.
Nonetheless, he emphasized that WWE’s business remains strong, with or without The Rock.
“My personal opinion is that having him around could be beneficial, but we’ve been doing well even without him. He could boost it further, or some might argue he could overshadow it. But bottom line, business is good, with or without him,”
Knight remarked.
Despite making three consecutive appearances, The Rock isn’t advertised for the upcoming episode of SmackDown, set to air live from the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee.
