Current champion takes a dig at LA Knight after attacking him on WWE SmackDown
A current champion has mocked LA Knight following a major segment on this week's SmackDown. The superstar has been feuding with Knight for a while.
The name in question is United States Champion Logan Paul. On the latest episode of SmackDown, Knight called out Paul for being absent from TV and reminded the latter about their Triple Threat Match scheduled for next week. Santos Escobar, who will also participate in the three-way bout, interrupted The Megastar and made fun of him for chasing The Maverick.
Escobar and Knight ultimately engaged in a brawl, ending with the latter taking out his adversary with a BFT. Shortly afterward, Paul appeared out of nowhere and took out the 41-year-old with a big right hook.
Following the show, Paul took a dig at LA Knight by posting a picture of their latest interaction. He also sent The Megastar the following message on X/Twitter:
"LA good knight [emoji]," Paul tweeted.

LA Knight issued a warning to Logan Paul following the attack on SmackDown
After this week's SmackDown, LA Knight claimed that he would dethrone Logan Paul and also win the 2024 Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
In a chat with Byron Saxton on The SmackDown Lowdown, Knight said he would secure the United States Championship at any cost. The Megastar also issued a warning to Paul ahead of their Money in the Bank qualifier next week.
"What I'm telling you, just the same way I showed up in your pool, I made it mine, I will show up, I will take that United States Championship. I will make it mine. You can blindside me, you can do anything you want. It doesn't make a difference." Knight continued, "I will walk in next week, I will lay you out. You got a target on your back so big right now, my guy." [1:42 - 2:10]
It will be interesting to see whether LA Knight can defeat Logan Paul in a potential United States Championship match. Regardless, the two stars will be aiming to qualify for the MITB ladder bout first.
