WWE Superstar LA Knight didn’t hold back as he took aim at his longtime adversary, AJ Styles, in the lead-up to WrestleMania XL.
In the latest episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Styles didn’t mince words, labeling Knight as an overachiever lacking in talent. The verbal jabs continued until Knight made a dramatic entrance, launching a surprise attack on Styles.
The brawl ended with AJ retreating into the crowd, leaving tensions high before their WrestleMania showdown.

Taking to social media post-show, Knight issued a warning to Styles, asserting that their encounter at WrestleMania XL would be unavoidable, indicating that Styles can’t evade him forever.
Dutch Mantell, a respected figure in wrestling, recently shared his enthusiasm for a potential matchup between LA Knight and the iconic Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
Speaking on his podcast, Mantell expressed a desire for The Rock to recognize Knight’s verbal prowess, deeming him a fitting adversary.
Despite acknowledging that it might not align with WWE’s current storyline, Mantell emphasized his eagerness to witness the clash between the two charismatic performers.
“I think it helps him. Oh, yeah, because I think Rock will look at him and say, ‘Hey, he’s got a good mouth on him. Hell, let’s have a battle.’ Except that The Rock has a writer [laughs] and I think LA Knight will kinda be on his own. But I would like to hear them go at each other and I think a lot of other people would too. And I think they’d have a hell of a match,”
Mantell remarked.
As speculation swirls regarding Knight’s future post-WrestleMania, fans eagerly anticipate how WWE will leverage his momentum following what promises to be a significant match on the grand stage.
