LA Knight scored the biggest win of his career at SummerSlam.
After months of being cheered to the rafters by fans across the world, LA Knight finally has a big win to go with his incredible popularity.
While the addition of the Slim Jim Battle Royal to the card didn’t come without a fair share of controversy, seemingly playing a role in Becky Lynch, Trish Stratus, Rhea Ripley, and Raquel Rodriguez all missing the show, it gave Knight an opportunity. It was an opportunity he was desperate to take.
The star fought past 24 rivals including, AJ Styles, Omos, The Miz, Grayson Waller and finally Sheamus to earn victory. Throwing the Irish star over the top rope after delivering a huge Belly-to-Belly Suplex from the top turnbuckle.
Before Sheamus’ feet had hit the floor, the crowd had already exploded, as Michael Cole announced to fans at home that Knight had arrived.
