LA Knight has been one of the stars to watch over the last few years and he won championship gold for the first time since he joined the main roster when he defeated Logan Paul to win the United States Championship at SummerSlam last year.
The Megastar defeated Shinsuke Nakamura to win the WWE United States Championship for the second time in his career last month, and ever since then he’s had a target on his back. A number of contenders have been chasing LA Knight’s title, but it was Jacob Fatu who earned the right to challenge for the belt at WrestleMania 41.
Solo Sikoa walked out to the top of the stage with Jacob Fatu then Jacob walked down to the ring alone. After Jacob made his entrance a Maserati drove up on the stage and LA Knight got out then made his way down the ramp.
The match featured several near falls and at one point Jacob Fatu went for a moonsault off the top rope and Knight reversed it into a BFT. It looked like Knight had it won, but Fatu grabbed the bottom rope to break the count when Knight went for the pin.
Fatu followed up with a Samoan Drop from the top rope then connected with two moonsaults on LA Knight to win the WWE United States Championship for the first time in his career.
