WWE United States Champion LA Knight got himself into trouble this week on SmackDown. He was the Special Guest Referee for game seven between Andrade and Carmelo Hayes.

The matchup descended into chaos after Hayes hit the US Champ with a Superkick meant for Andrade. The Megastar lost his cool and threw the match out after hitting both competitors with BFTs. Later, SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis told the champ that he would have to face both men in a Triple Threat match for the United States title at Crown Jewel.

WWE correspondent Byron Saxton caught up with the US Champ on SmackDown LowDown this week. Knight was clear that he only lost his composure after Carmelo and Andrade laid hands on him. He detailed he would make Nick Aldis regret putting the stars in a Triple Threat match.

The Megastar outrightly claimed that he could not see Carmelo and Andrade making a name for themselves at his expense.

"As a matter of fact, I made those kids out there, Andrade and Melo. Hold on one second because I forgot. Let me talk to you. Here's the deal. I made both of those kids out there regret the fact that they put their hands on me. I'm gonna make Nick Aldis regret that he made this match at Crown Jewel. What happened out there was those two wanted to push my buttons. Nah, nah, you got your buttons kicked in, and that's exactly what's gonna happen at Crown Jewel." [From 0:32 - 0:54]

Bill Apter spoke about LA Knight officiating the match

Earlier this week, Sportskeeda's Senior Editor Bill Apter also commented on Knight's refereeing. He felt something would go wrong the moment he saw Knight walking out in the striped shirt.

"I just left a comment about LA Knight officiating. Not just LA Knight but any wrestler. Any wrestler officiating a match as a referee, there's always going to be something going awry, some screwjob finish. They never ever end fairly," the veteran said.

The veteran journalist pointed out that whenever wrestlers took on officiating duties, something would always go wrong, or the match would end with some shenanigans.
