Following last week’s episode of WWE SmackDown when LA Knight vs. Sheamus vs. Cameron Grimes vs. Rey Mysterio was booked for SmackDown, where the winner will face Santos Escobar on the July 28th SmackDown and WWE booked him to lose with Rey Mysterio going over, fans thought Knight wouldn’t be on the SummerSlam card.
The winner of Mysterio vs. Escobar this week will get a title bout with United States Champion Austin Theory on the August 4th SmackDown.
As previously reported, Knight’s new push is believed to start after the August 5th SummerSlam PLE. Knight is said to be bad at backstage politics and has a reputation for rubbing some people the wrong way.
Insider account Boozer (#BWE), which has broken past WWE stories, reported that WWE is Knight “will have a certain seg/angle during SS. Could switch to a match.” It’s unclear who will also be part of the segment or match with Knight.
WWE holds SummerSlam on Saturday, August 5, 2023, at the Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan, which will air on Peacock. Here is the updated card:
Undisputed WWE Universal Championship Tribal Combat Match:
