LA Knight became the number one contender for the United
States title after he won a mini tournament on Smackdown last
night.
The tournament had three matches, with LA Knight defeating
Santos Escobar in the first match, Jacob Fatu defeating
Andrade in the second match, and Carmelo Hayes defeating Braun
Strowman in the other match via disqualficiation.
The three winners then advanced to a triple threat match which
Knight won after he pinned Hayes.
Knight was supposed to wrestle Shinsuke Nakamura for the title
last night but plans changed and the tournament was done
instead, pushing the title match to a future show.
