Following his recent match, WWE superstar LA Knight has messaged the fans in response to the backlash. WWE initiated the King and Queen of the Ring tournament qualifiers on RAW and SmackDown. Initially, the promotion announced matches for both shows. However, due to time constraints, they relocated some qualifying matches to live events.
Fans attending WWE live events this past weekend witnessed matches like Kofi Kingston vs. Rey Mysterio and Shayna Baszler vs. Maxxine Dupri from the RAW side. Similarly, matches such as Tiffany Stratton vs. Michin and LA Knight vs. Santos Escobar from SmackDown were moved to live events. However, many fans expressed dissatisfaction with this situation as WWE did not broadcast these matches on TV.
LA Knight addressed the fans’ dissatisfaction on X (formerly Twitter) regarding not being able to see the matches. He expressed gratitude for fans wanting to watch the matches on TV. However, he also mentioned that live shows are where many wrestlers have the most fun, especially with stakes like these, making it even more enjoyable.
I appreciate everyone saying this match should’ve been on TV. But, no need to throw live event crowds under the bus.
Live events are where the @WWE roster has as much fun as possible.
Not only having a great match, but a match with HUGE stakes makes the live events more fun!? https://t.co/VojlY86f8d— LA Knight (@RealLAKnight) May 13, 2024
The King and Queen of the Ring tournament qualifying matches feature top stars from both RAW and SmackDown. As the tournament progresses, excitement among the fans is growing with each match.
LA Knight advances to WWE King of the Ring semi-finals
While LA Knight didn’t have his King of the Ring tournament qualifying match televised, he faced Santos Escobar over the past weekend and emerged victorious. This win secured his spot in the semi-finals of the King of the Ring tournament.
In the upcoming semi-finals, LA Knight will square off against The Bloodline member Tama Tonga, who defeated Angelo Dawkins on WWE SmackDown with The Bloodline at ringside last week. Tama Tonga’s win was aided by The Bloodline’s distraction. Given Knight’s history with The Bloodline, it will be intriguing to see if they once again interfere and affect his opportunity this Friday on WWE SmackDown.
