Following the October 6 episode of WWE Raw, LA Knight issued a clear warning to CM Punk and Jey Uso after securing a tag team victory. This confrontation unfolded on the same night CM Punk promised to claim the World Heavyweight Championship from Seth Rollins by the end of the year, setting a tense backdrop at WWE Raw.
Rising Tensions in the Tag Team Match
On WWE Raw, LA Knight teamed up with CM Punk to face off against The Usos, Jimmy and Jey, in a highly charged match. Throughout the evening, friction between Knight and Punk was evident. Knight reminded Punk to prioritize his responsibilities as a husband over his pursuit of victory against Rollins, known as The Visionary. Meanwhile, Jey Uso capitalized on this unease as he pursues his own championship opportunity.
The match culminated with Knight pinning Jey Uso, securing the win for his team, which only heightened the stakes for Knight’s quest for gold. This victory laid the foundation for Knight’s stern message to both Punk and Jey Uso.
LA Knight’s Backstage Warning
Backstage footage shared on Twitter captured LA Knight delivering a firm warning after his win. He emphasized his determination to claim the Heavyweight Championship and made it clear that anyone hindering his path would face his resolve. Knight stated,
“No matter how you do it, by hook or by crook, my hand was raised because that’s how it goes down.”
Addressing CM Punk directly, Knight added,
“Now, CM Punk, you did the whole thing. You didn’t do dirt, you didn’t get dirt and that’s okay.”
He then extended the warning to Jey Uso as well:
“But, I tell you like this man. I told you before, and I’ll tell you again. Do not, and this goes for Jey, too, do not get in the way of my quest for gold.”
Do not get in the way of my ecstasy of gold, and that is me holding that Heavyweight Championship, the first, the time that everyone is gonna remember the era of ‘Yeah’ and the era of everybody saying “LA Knight. Yeah.”
