WWE Smackdown Results returned as AJ Styles demanded a match against Solo despite the OC trying to convince him to leave the Bloodline be.
The Miz came out to the ring and he wasted no time in saying his match against LA Knight will be the biggest of Knight’s career and he mocked him for not being at Miz’s level.
Knight came out to interrupt him when the Miz said Knight’s not at the level he was ten years ago and the crowd welcomed him with a loud pop and chanting his name.
Knight called Miz out for his cosplays that include the Rock, John Cena, and now LA Knight. He pointed out that aside of not being able to fill out their clothes, all three of those he listed are people he wishes he could be but can’t be.
Knight talked about how he raised himself up from the streets and did it all, and Miz talks about how easy it is to be him.

He said he’s not on Miz’s level because he comes in from a reality show while he worked his way up and said he’s far above the Miz.
Miz mocked him for being on a reality show The Hero and he was the first one eliminated. Miz succeeds because he’s a star.
Knight said he took advantage of every opportunity and he doesn’t fault the Miz for that. He then pointed out Maryse is the star of their show.
He promised she’ll be empty when he breaks her husband, but one call from him will fix that.
The Miz countered by saying the fans love him because they’re failures and like the low hanging fruit and hoping he’ll succeed since they can’t.
Knight ripped into him about getting into a time machine because his present is trash and hit future is ruined. Miz went for a cheap shot, but Knight avoided that, but Miz managed to hit a Skull Crushing Finale and he told Knight that’s his future.
As the Miz headed up the ramp, Knight went after him and nailed him from behind before security came out and held him back so Miz could escape.
