LA Knight continues to be a major draw with his bombshell segment against the cocky Grayson Waller tonight. The two shared a verbal battle reminiscent of The Rock in his prime before heading to a scheduled one-to-one brawl.

Knight entered red hot at Crown Jewel last week but came up short in handling The Tribal Chief despite an insane cheer from the crowd. Following his defeat, Grayson Waller played his usual mockery game with The Megastar on social media. It quite obviously went astray without Knight, who came up with a counterattack and revealed that he had permission from the SmackDown general manager to deal with Waller at SmackDown tonight.

Along that line, the two stars had a fiery encounter leading to a physical bout. Before Knight was done weighing on his upsetting Crown Jewel loss, Waller came up and rubbed salt in his wounds, questioning his position alongside Roman Reigns in the ring.

Knight fired back, suavely dishing out some solid insults to the 33-year-old star. Knight used several name-callings to bring Waller down. He addressed his social media contender as a ‘creep’, said he had ‘incel energy’, mentioned his ‘mother’s basement’, and used other derogatory terms.
