LA Knight retains WWE United States Title at Crown Jewel

LA Knight was a massive fan-favorite at Crown Jewel Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he defended the United States Championship for the first time on a WWE premium live event since capturing the belt at SummerSlam in August. The challenge was strong in the form of Andrade and Carmelo Hayes.

Andrade and Hayes have been at it for months, having wrestled seven singles matches. The two men started the contest at Crown Jewel by picking up right where they left off on SmackDown. Knight simply let them, staying out of the fight until El Idolo brought him into the fight.

The action was brisk, fast-paced, and featured several standout moments. It was a showcase for both Andrade and Carmelo Hayes. In the end, though, The Megastar of WWE made sure his title reign was intact.

This may have certainly been a big moment for The Megastar, where the spotlight was on him in the penultimate match of Crown Jewel. The crowd in Riyadh showered the United States Champion with loud chants, who has come a long way from failing to dethrone Roman Reigns at last year's edition of the event.

Recently, LA Knight opened up about an unknown backstory to his title win at SummerSlam.
