WWE United States Champion LA Knight has a target on his back. The star currently finds himself tangled up in a personal rivalry between Andrade and Carmelo Hayes.
Andrade is the current Speed Champion, a title he won from Ricochet. He was leading Hayes 3-2 in their series of matches as the two stars went about battling each other for the sixth time this week. The two put on another in-ring classic. However, Knight came down in the ring to get retribution on Carmelo Hayes, who attacked him backstage earlier in the night. This allowed Hayes to roll Andrade for a quick three count.
Andrade appeared on WWE SmackDown LowDown this week. He was still furious with Carmelo for the cheap tricks and quick pin earlier in the evening. He then turned his attention to the United States Champion. The former AEW star warned Knight that now he has a problem with The Megastar after he interfered in his match, costing him the win.
"Carmelo, this is not over yet. And LA Knight, this is for you. You got into my business. Now you and I have a problem." [From 2:39 - 3:02]

LA Knight defeated Andrade last week on SmackDown
Last week on the blue brand, LA Knight had a stellar outing as he defended his United States Championship against Andrade.
The two stars went through a grueling battle as they exchanged move after move in a bid to hold the US title. Despite some slip-ups, Knight managed to get the better of his opponent with a BFT for the win.
The real controversy happened after the match when Andrade went to shake hands with Knight. The Megastar seemed hesitant to do so, and the 34-year-old forced the handshake from the champ before leaving the ring.
