3-time WWE champion challenges LA Knight for the US Title; fails to get the victory

On the latest episode of WWE SmackDown, Andrade challenged LA Knight for the United States Championship. He earned the right to challenge for the coveted title after defeating Carmelo Hayes in a #1 contender's match.

After the bell rang, El Idolo tried to lock in the Figure Four, but The Megastar reversed it into a cover. The latter tried to hit the BFT, but the former US Champion evaded it and headed to the floor. Andrade did a series of chops, and LA countered with a few jabs.

El Idolo took down LA Knight with a diving crossbody and got a two-count. Andrade did a shoulder takedown but ran into a clothesline. LA bounced Andrade's face into the announce table several times and hit a slingshot shoulder tackle in the ring for a two-count. Andrade nailed Knight with a moonsault off the top of the ringpost onto the floor.

He then tried to hit a meteora in the corner, but nobody was home. LA Knight planted his opponent with a DDT and got a two-count. He then hit the three-time WWE titleholder with a running knee in the corner and a neckbreaker for a two-count. In the end, Knight planted Andrade with the BFT and won the match to retain the US Title.
