LA Knight warned Jacob Fatu after he became the #1 contender for the WWE US Championship

LA Knight shared his immediate reaction after Jacob Fatu became the #1 contender for the WWE United States Championship on SmackDown.

He shared a video stating that at WrestleMania 41, only one man will be standing, and that man will be The Megastar. The champ said:

"What you just saw right there was a man as determined, a determined face of a man who wanted to go to WrestleMania, and a man determined to get beaten by this man. I'm going to tell you right now, I don't know how much is left out of either Jacob Fatu or Braun Strowman. More power to them for ripping each other out there. But here's the deal, man, we walk into WrestleMania, man, and there is only one way it can go. We're talking BFTs, we're talking about Last Man Standing, there will be one man standing holding this thing, and it ain't you, and anybody on this living earth. With everybody saying, LA Knight, I'll see you on that big stage, yeah!"

Fatu, a former WWE Tag Team Champion, has the opportunity to win his first singles championship in the company.
