Modified Dec 07, 2024 02:29 GMT

LA Knight lost his United States Championship at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames. Despite this loss, he has demanded another title shot.

LA Knight was riding high as the United States Champion for the past few months. However, he met his toughest challenger, Shinsuke Nakamura, who made his return a few weeks ago and attacked the champion.

Over the next few weeks, Nakamura was able to get into the mind of the US Champion. This helped him gain an advantage over Knight at Survivor Series: WarGames and he won his first title in nearly three years.

Tonight on SmackDown, Shinsuke Nakamura was about to address the WWE Universe when Knight interrupted him. He called the King of Strong Style as a sorry excuse of a champion. He also said the title belonged to him and demanded a rematch. However, Nakamura didn't answer his challenge. Knight put on a pair of sunglasses to protect him against the black mist as he entered the ring. He was also interrupted by Andrade, who said he had some unfinished business with the new United States Champion.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker.
