This week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown was nothing short of electric, as LA Knight secured his spot in the highly anticipated No. 1 Contender’s Triple Threat Match. With WrestleMania season heating up, every superstar is looking for their moment to shine, and LA Knight did exactly that.
LA Knight Punches His Ticket to the No. 1 Contender’s Match
The night’s main event saw LA Knight battling it out in a high-stakes qualifying match, with the winner advancing to the Triple Threat showdown for a shot at the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. As expected, Knight brought his signature confidence and intensity to the ring, refusing to let this opportunity slip through his fingers.
Facing off against a formidable opponent, Knight showcased his resilience, countering every attack and delivering his signature moves with precision. In the final moments, he landed the devastating BFT (Blunt Force Trauma) for the three-count, sealing his victory and sending a clear message to his future opponents. With this win, Knight inches closer to the championship match at WrestleMania.
Cody Rhodes Sends a Warning to Roman Reigns
Elsewhere on SmackDown, Cody Rhodes made his presence felt as he addressed Roman Reigns ahead of their WrestleMania showdown. Standing in the center of the ring, Rhodes didn’t mince words, promising to end Reigns’ historic title reign once and for all. However, Reigns, ever the dominant champion, remained unfazed, sending his own message through Paul Heyman. The tension between these two continues to build, making their WrestleMania clash one of the most anticipated in WWE history.
Damage CTRL Stands Tall Over Bianca Belair and Shotzi
The women’s division was also in the spotlight as Damage CTRL continued their reign of dominance. Bianca Belair and Shotzi teamed up to take on Bayley and IYO SKY in a hard-hitting tag team bout. Despite a strong showing from Belair and Shotzi, the numbers game proved too much, as a well-timed distraction from Dakota Kai allowed IYO SKY to hit the Over the Moonsault for the win. With tensions rising in the women’s division, all eyes are on the upcoming title picture.
Bobby Lashley Makes a Statement
Bobby Lashley had a dominant showing against a returning Karrion Kross. The All Mighty wasted no time establishing his dominance, overpowering Kross with sheer strength before locking in the Hurt Lock for a decisive victory. After the match, Lashley made it clear he had his sights set on championship gold, raising speculation about his involvement in the No. 1 Contender’s Match.
