LA Knight has been pursuing a major title. He has now gotten one step closer to regaining it.
Knight has been on a meteoric rise since he made it to the main roster. For several months, he pursued his first title and finally won the United States Championship from Logan Paul. However, Shinsuke Nakamura cut his title reign short at Survivor Series 2024. Since then, he has been trying to regain the gold.
As the United States Championship competition heats up, Nick Aldis announced a one-night mini-tournament to determine the number one contender for the US Title on SmackDown. He announced three singles matches, and the winners of each would face off in a triple-threat match.
