Huge Title Match Added To WWE SmackDown (Spoiler)
Another match has unofficially been added to WWE SmackDown.
According to a new report from Wrestle Votes, LA Knight will put the United States Title on the line against Santos Escobar on November 22nd.
On November 15th, Knight turned down the chance to join Roman Reigns, Sami Zayn, and The Usos in their battle against the new Bloodline before being confronted by Escobar and Legado del Fantasma. Although it seemed like Escobar would answer Knight’s open challenge, it was eventually Berto who stepped up.
After a short match, Knight grabbed the win, only to be attacked by a returning Shinsuke Nakamura. The 2018 Royal Rumble hadn’t been seen on WWE television for several months.
