LA Knight was able to defy the odds to retain his WWE United States Championship at WWE Crown Jewel 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Knight was forced to defend the title against both Andrade and Carmelo Hayes after attacking both men during a recent edition of SmackDown. With the triple-threat stipulation meaning Knight didn’t have to be involved in the decision to lose the title, the Megastar tried to remain involved as much as possible. The finish of the match saw Hayes hit his facebuster on Andrade, only to eat a BFT from Knight.
