LA Knight is the current United States Champion on WWE SmackDown. However, The Megastar has yet to defend his title at a premium live event. It looks like Crown Jewel could finally be the place where this long wait finally ends. This week on SmackDown, Nick Aldis might make a huge announcement regarding Knight's title match at the Saudi spectacle.
Aldis could state that The Defiant One would defend his United States Championship in a Triple Threat Match against Andrade and Carmelo Hayes. All three superstars have been embroiled in a common storyline for the past few weeks. Hayes and Andrade will lock horns in the seventh match of their ongoing series this week on SmackDown, and LA Knight is set to be the special guest referee. The winner will earn a shot at The Megastar's title.

There is a good possibility that the events of this match might pave the way for a blockbuster showdown between the three superstars at Crown Jewel. The Megastar might get involved in a brawl with Melo and Andrade during their match, leading to a non-conclusive finish. As a result, Nick Aldis could show up and announce a Triple Threat Match for the US Title at the Saudi Arabia spectacle.
The chances of this happening are extremely high. Considering the fact that Knight has yet to defend his title in a PLE, the Triple H-led creative team is likely to book him for Crown Jewel. Moreover, Carmelo Hayes and Andrade have been in the United States Championship picture for quite some time. Therefore, they both deserve an opportunity to contest for the title at such a grand stage.

Furthermore, a Triple Threat Match has the potential to attract more eyeballs than a singles match. Therefore, the prospect of Nick Aldis making this huge announcement on the blue brand is quite high. However, this is just speculation at the moment.
LA Knight to drop his United States Championship at Crown Jewel?
LA Knight won the United States Championship at SummerSlam this year by defeating Logan Paul. Since then, The Megastar has had an entertaining reign on SmackDown. The chances of the 41-year-old dropping his title at Crown Jewel are relatively low.
Knight has been on a meteoric rise in the company for well over a year and has been a huge fan favorite. Therefore, there is a segment of the fanbase that has been clamoring to see him in the World Title picture, which is only possible if The Megastar loses the United States Championship.
However, the chances of it happening at Crown Jewel are extremely low. LA Knight has been quite entertaining as US Champion on SmackDown lately. Besides, there are many unexplored feuds and matches in his reign that could be game changers for his career. Therefore, making him drop his title in Saudi Arabia might put a halt to his current momentum.
Although the chances of LA Knight dropping his coveted title are low, WWE could make an unexpected move, as the Triple H's regime is known for unpredictability. It will be interesting to see how things unfold when The Megastar officiates Carmelo vs. Andrade this Friday.
