One of WWE’s prominent figures, LA Knight, who has been riding a wave of success, recently participated in The King of The Ring tournament. Despite his elimination, Knight has shown a nonchalant attitude towards his defeat.
During the WWE SmackDown broadcast on May 17, LA Knight squared off against Tama Tonga in the quarterfinals of the WWE King of the Ring. Despite Knight’s best efforts, Tama Tonga emerged victorious with the help of Tonga Loa and Solo Sikoa. Additionally, Knight had an altercation with Carmelo Hayes not once but twice that night. Following his loss, Hayes taunted Knight prompting a physical response.
In a post-match SmackDown Exclusive, Knight addressed both his defeat and the incident with Hayes. He underscored his readiness to move forward and directed a clear message towards Carmelo Hayes, asserting his resilience and dismissing the importance of the loss.
“Let me talk to you. Here’s the thing, man. Yeah, three-on-one out there with The Bloodline. You got three savages out there. Look, there’s only so much I can do. I can only keep so many eyes in so many sides of my head. Here’s the deal. Yeah, King of the Ring ain’t happening for me, boo-hoo. What can you do about it? I can’t do a damn thing about it but keep moving forward. Keep moving. Why? Because I don’t know how to quit. Maybe they’d a little defect with me, okay? But then I walk back here, and I’m just swatting flies off me, mosquitos just trying to bite me off, trying to suck my blood. Who is this new kid talking about first-round draft pick? [Claps] Good for you. Like somebody cares about it. I’ll tell you what, tell somebody who cares. Tell your mommy, for all you need to. I hope she’s real proud of you. Make sure you tell her, make sure she gives you that congratulations. But in the meantime, I told you before, I’ll tell you again. Go play somewhere, I’m busy because you will know, everybody around this place knows whose game this is, with everybody saying ‘LA Knight.’ Yeah,”
The potential feud between LA Knight and Carmelo Hayes is something to anticipate as it promises to captivate WWE fans in the following weeks.
