LA Knight issues warning to Randy Orton and AJ Styles
The General Manager of WWE SmackDown, Nick Aldis, has officially announced a blockbuster triple-threat match for the upcoming SmackDown: New Year’s Revolution episode. The match will feature LA Knight, Randy Orton, and AJ Styles. All three of them have a history with The Bloodline and will be competing to secure a win in the triple-threat match. The winner of this match will earn the right to challenge Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
Last week, AJ Styles made a return to SmackDown and wasted no time attacking The Bloodline. Randy Orton is also seeking retribution from the faction for sidelining him for almost two years. These events have made things challenging for Knight, who is also looking to get revenge on Reigns and his stablemates after they denied him his title opportunity at Crown Jewel 2023.
On the latest episode of Friday Night SmackDown, in a backstage segment, LA Knight claimed that he would be the next challenger to Roman Reigns at the 2024 Royal Rumble. He confidently predicted that Randy Orton and AJ Styles would not stand a chance against him after taking a couple of BFTs in the ring at the SmackDown New Year’s Revolution event.
“The big news is that at the Royal Rumble, you will see Roman Reigns and LA Knight. Why is that? Because at New Year’s Revolution, in just two weeks, what you’re gonna see is you’re gonna see Randy Orton, you’re gonna see AJ Styles, and you’re gonna see both of them fall to their feet. We’re on the business end of a BFT. Yeah!” said LA Knight.
