Folks, let’s talk about COMEBACKS. Big ones. HUGE ones. LA Knight just did what some people—probably losers, let’s be honest—thought was impossible. After two failed attempts, The Megastar reclaimed the United States Championship from Shinsuke Nakamura on Friday Night SmackDown. And he did it in STYLE. Some are calling it controversial, others are calling it genius—I’m calling it TREMENDOUS.
A Title Match Spicier Than Wasabi
Right from the start, LA Knight was HOT. You ever see a bull charge at a matador? That was Knight when the bell rang. Nakamura tried to fight back, but as the match went on, the distance between them widened like the gap between good taste and pineapple pizza. Momentum? 100% LA Knight.
Knight’s Superplex was like a giant exclamation point—just a beautiful moment of dominance. And then? A top-rope elbow that would make Macho Man nod in approval. But when he went for the BFT, Nakamura panicked. And what does he do? He reaches for a chair, because apparently, fair fights are for people who DON’T lose their title in the next five minutes.
Red Mist? More Like Red Mess
Nakamura, clearly running out of ideas, went full fire-breathing dragon, spewing red mist straight at the referee like he was taste-testing expired hot sauce. Unfortunately for him, that’s illegal, and while the ref was busy contemplating his life choices, Knight dropped Nakamura onto his own steel chair with a BFT.
New referee rushes in, one, two, three, and BOOM—Nakamura’s 98-day reign GONE. Just like that.
A Reign That Barely Stood Up to a Stiff Breeze
Let’s be honest, Nakamura’s title run was about as stable as a Jenga tower in an earthquake. He won the championship at Survivor Series 2024 in an upset that probably had statisticians scratching their heads. And in those 98 days? He only defended it against one guy. The same guy who just took it back.
LA Knight—two-time U.S. Champion. Nakamura—probably sitting somewhere, still tasting his own mist, wondering what just happened. YEAH!
