The dynamic and highly enthralling LA Knight came to RAW tonight from his home turf, SmackDown to earn a major opportunity with WrestleMania implications. However, standing in his way was the ruthless Ivar from the Vikings Raiders who wanted the same for himself.
The Megastar of WWE surely had a tough opponent to conquer, but his amazing in-ring acumen and the YEAH movement behind him were enough to stop Ivar in his tracks, despite having Valhalla in his corner and claim the win.
LA Knight and Ivar begin the match to an interesting start, as an opportunity to enter the Men’s Elimination Chamber in Perth, Australia, and headline WrestleMania 40 in a title match hung in the balance.
A highly exhilarating match saw an excellent back-and-forth between the two superstars with Ivar imposing his strength on the megastar for the majority of the match. However, LA Knight bounced back, escaping the moonsault from Ivar, and in the end, connected with the BFT to pin his shoulder to the mat for the three count.
Knight’s win makes him the 4th person to qualify for the Men’s Chamber taking place at the name-sake pay-per-view in the land down under in less than two weeks.
He will join Drew McIntyre who became the first person to qualify, Randy Orton and Bobby Lashley, with the winner of the match moving on to WrestleMania 40 to battle the current World Heavyweight champion, Seth Rollins for his title.
