Ring announcing has gotten interesting in the last few years. Samantha Irvin brought a unique flavor with her announcements. Lilian tried to use her way to make the ring announcing cool. She did so by announcing the Megastar as 'LA Knight Yeah'. Fans felt it was a great way of announcing Knight.
LA Knight vs Shinsuke Nakamura's match disqualified after Bloodline's interference on WWE Smackdown
The match between Shinsuke and Knight was very good. The Megastar dominated it for the most part and looked good to reclaim his title. He delivered a suplex from the top of the apron only to receive a kick from the champ. But Knight recovered and delivered a BFT.
Just when he was about to claim a win via pinfall, Tama and Jacob interfered in the match after opening the locked room. They attacked Knight and cost him a potential US title win. Fatu delivered a Moon Sault and taught Knight a lesson. Tama and Fatu were attacked by Cody and Jimmy.
The duo delivered a series of Superkicks and indirectly assisted Knight. Shinsuke escaped from the scene and retained his title. Nick Aldis entered the scene and announced a tag team match for the main event of the night. Bloodline 2.0's Fatu and Tama will be up against Cody and Jimmy in the main event of the night.
