LA Knight will defend the WWE United States Championship on the March 28th episode of WWE SmackDown.
On the March 21st episode of WWE SmackDown, Jacob Fatu clashed with Braun Strowman. Ahead of the match, Strowman said that the winner would earn a shot at LA Knight’s WWE United States Championship. Strowman and Fatu battled back and forth. Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga attacked Strowman, so the referee called for the bell. Knight ran in and helped Strowman fight off Sikoa, Tonga, and Fatu.
Solo Sikoa ATACA a Braun Strowman… y eso hace que Braun GANE por DQ y sea #1 Contender por el título de los Estados Unidos. Y eso cabrea y mucho a Jacob Fatu.
