LA Knight recently lost his title at Survivor Series: WarGames

Knight suffered a major setback recently when he lost the United States title at the hands of Shinsuke Nakamura at Survivor Series: WarGames PLE. The clash at the final PLE was Knight’s eighth title defense.

However, he suffered defeat at the Survivor Series PLE which ended his title reign at 119 days. The former champion demanded a rematch instantly but was attacked by Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline which led to a six-man tag match between Sikoa’s Bloodline and Knight who teamed up with Andrade and Apollo Crews.

Nakamura ambushed Knight during the six-man tag match which hints that the feud between the two might not be over and with multiple PLEs in the next few months the promotion might have big plans for the former US champion.

Knight’s US title reign started when he defeated Logan Paul at SummerSlam 2024 PLE which was held at the Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. This loss ended Paul’s 273-day title reign.
