LA Knight Reacts To WWE Elimination Chamber Turnbuckle Botch
A slip by LA Knight inside the WWE Elimination Chamber led to some interesting reactions.
The Men’s Elimination Chamber match at the Elimination Chamber PLE was a star-studded match with some big-name WWE superstars involved. Randy Orton won the match that also featured Cody Rhodes, Logan Paul, Trick Williams, Je’Von Evans, and LA Knight…yeah.
After Evans had been eliminated, Knight went for a move that he had done many times before. Knight was on the middle turnbuckle, then he jumped up to the top turnbuckle and was supposed to deliver a top rope elbow drop.
Instead of jumping off the top smoothly, LA Knight slipped (or botched, as they say in wrestling) and gave Orton a regular elbow drop. Trick rolled up Knight for two. Knight came back with a BFT on Trick, who rolled out of the ring. As that was happening, Logan hit a low-blow uppercut on Knight and then rolled up Knight for the pinfall win.
Posting on his Instagram stories, Knight brushed it off, saying if he falls, he still lands on his feet.
“Haha it happens… yet even if I fall, I land on my feet.”

LA Knight Has Eyes Set On Becoming WWE Champion
Barring an unforeseen change, LA Knight won’t be involved in the WWE Title or World Heavyweight Title match at WrestleMania 42.
Prior to Elimination Chamber, LA Knight appeared to be focused on becoming a World Champion in WWE, even if he had to keep waiting.
It would mean all this paid off. Everything. All the effort, all the time, all the blood, sweat, tears, all that stuff that you hear everybody talk about, it’s real.
As far as I’m concerned, me being in the World Title picture at WrestleMania is overdue if you ask me.
Hopefully, LA Knight is still on the path for a WrestleMania match, even if it’s not for the WWE or World Title like he had hoped for.
