The Miz and LA Knight have been involved in a heated rivalry, ever since they first crossed paths several weeks ago. What ensued next was a series of back-and-forth exchanges between both men.
The Miz and Knight even had a singles match at WWE Payback, which also featured John Cena as the special guest referee. During the match, Miz went for a pinfall attempt by using the ropes for leverage. However, Cena saw it and stopped the A-Lister.

In the end, Knight was able to pick up a win against his rival. Following the loss, Miz seemed to have lost it, when he confronted and "attacked" an invincible John Cena on the following RAW. This resulted in Knight offering a rematch to Miz, which was set to take place tonight.
Both men had a decent back-and-forth match. There were many moments when it looked like the A-Lister would pick up the win. However, a missed kick resulted in Knight hitting his signature BFT for the win.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. 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. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
