LA Knight to face Aleister Black on WWE SmackDown
A new match announcement has been made for tonight’s Money in the Bank go-home edition of WWE SmackDown.
Before LA Knight competes in Money in the Bank, he’ll be in action on SmackDown in a singles match against Aleister Black. It comes as a result of Black blaming Knight for taking his MITB spot. They were involved in the same qualifying match, where Knight pinned Shinsuke Nakamura to get the victory. Leading into the finish, Black laid out Nakamura with Black Mass but was then thrown out of the ring by Knight.
Knight, Solo Sikoa, Penta, Seth Rollins, Andrade, and El Grande Americano (Chad Gable) will be the participants in the men’s ladder match at Saturday’s Money in the Bank PLE.
Dignity Health Arena in Bakersfield, California is hosting SmackDown tonight. Here’s everything that has been announced for the episode:
