LA Knight vs. AJ Styles Set For WrestleMania XL
LA Knight and AJ Styles have agreed to meet at WWE WrestleMania XL.
AJ Styles and LA Knight’s issues stem from when AJ was taken out of action by Solo Sikoa in September 2023 and AJ’s belief that Knight literally walked over his fallen body to step into the main event picture.
Since AJ Styles’ return, he has targeted LA Knight, going so far as to cost him a chance at the World Heavyweight Championship when he attacked him with a steel chair inside the Elimination Chamber in February 2024.
Knight tried to put AJ Styles in his rearview mirror but after the escalation of their situation, Knight would officially challenge AJ Styles to a match at WrestleMania XL on the March 15 episode of SmackDown. Styles would respond by once again attacking Knight from behind with a steel chair before officially accepting the challenge.
One Superstar is out to make AJ Styles’ WrestleMania 40 experience a hard day’s Knight.
When LA Knight was competing inside the Elimination Chamber, Styles barged into the structure to attack him and disrupt his efforts to become the No. 1 Contender to World Heavyweight Champion Seth “Freakin” Rollins at WrestleMania.
Ever since the Premium Live Event, Knight as been on a tireless quest to track down The Phenomenal One, looking everywhere from backstage at SmackDown, to catering, and even at various places outside of WWE.
Unable to find his would-be adversary in order to get payback, Knight challenged Styles to a bout at The Show of Shows. As soon as the challenge was issued, however, Styles suddenly executed another vicious assault on Knight before declaring that he will see him at WrestleMania.
