WrestleMania 40 is almost here, but the card is still coming together. Ever since AJ Styles returned to TV a few months ago he’s been targeting LA Knight, but it seems that LA Knight has had enough.
This week on Friday Night SmackDown, LA Knight made his way out to the stage and said that he will officially own AJ Styles at WrestleMania before challenging The Phenomenal One to a match on the Grandest Stage of Them All. Styles then attacked LA Knight from behind when he hit him in the back with a steel chair. Styles then set the chair up on top of Knight, sat down and told the Megastar that he accepts his challenge for WrestleMania.
Later backstage Kayla Braxton asked The Bloodline if they had a response to Jey Uso’s WrestleMania challenge for Jimmy Uso. Paul Heyman and Solo Sikoa then stepped out of the way as Jimmy Uso entered and accepted Jey Uso’s challenge for WrestleMania 40.
During a backstage segment Logan Paul confronted SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis and criticized him for not booking him in a WrestleMania match. Later in the night Randy Orton defeated Grayson Waller in a singles match then he was attacked by Austin Theory from behind. Austin held Orton as Logan Paul got ready to attack him, but Kevin Owens made the save. Owens hit Theory with the Stunner then Orton hit him with the RKO. KO and Orton shook hands as Logan Paul tried to leave, but he was interrupted by Nick Aldis who told him that he’ll be defending his United States Championship against Kevin Owens and Randy Orton in a triple threat match at WrestleMania 40.
