LA Knight kicked off WWE SmackDown and got on the mic to say that Seth Rollins and his boys screwed him out of the King of the Ring Tournament. To get revenge, he did the same to Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker.

Paul Heyman came out and said that Rollins had instructed LA Knight to leave the arena, and if he didn't, something bad would happen to him.

Knight fired back and said that he would 'punch Heyman's teeth down his throat' and challenged him to a match. Paul left the ring before Bron and Bronson showed up and attacked Knight, kicking him out of the ring. LA got back up and grabbed a chair to defend himself before the heels retreated.

Backstage on SmackDown, we learned that Bronson would be facing LA Knight in a match tonight.
