Bill Apter spoke highly of the Triple Threat Match between LA Knight, Andrade, and Carmelo Hayes
Bill Apter praised the Triple Threat Match between LA Knight, Andrade, and Carmelo Hayes.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling, the wrestling veteran discussed Knight's popularity. He believes the company wouldn't dethrone him as the United States Champion. Apter said:
"Nothing negative about this match. Off the charts energy as the broadcasters said several times. Lots of high-flying action with LA Knight retaining in an 'This is awesome!' chant match. Andrade and Hayes did an excellent job but WWE is not ready to take the U.S. honors from the hugely popular LA Knight yet."
At the SummerSlam Premium Live Event, Knight defeated Logan Paul to win the United States Championship. He successfully defended the title on SmackDown against Andrade and Hayes before defeating both superstars at the Crown Jewel Premium Live Event. This was Knight's first title defense at a Premium Live Event.
It remains to be seen which superstar will step up as The Megastar's next challenger for the United States Championship.
