LA Knight Explains Reason for Unfortunate Botches During 9/20 WWE SmackDown

LA Knight had a challenging match on WWE SmackDown this week against Andrade, but the ending didn’t go as planned. He struggled with one of his signature moves multiple times and has now revealed the reason for his botches.

This year, Knight has been aiming for individual success, especially after missing out on the world title. He focused on the United States Championship, which he won from Logan Paul at SummerSlam and has defended successfully since then.

In the September 20 episode of SmackDown, both Knight and Andrade put in a lot of effort. However, during a key moment, Knight tried to jump onto the top rope for a superplex but slipped twice. When he finally reached the top, Andrade managed to counter the move. Despite this mishap, the crowd enjoyed the match, and Knight ultimately won, retaining his title.

Later, Knight addressed his slip in an Instagram video, explaining that it can happen when fatigue sets in during a match. He acknowledged Andrade’s talent but noted that not every move goes as planned in wrestling.

“Man, I’ll tell you what, Andrade, hell of a talent out there. But still, not enough to get you over the hump. I’ll tell you like this man, not every piece of your offense is going to go right. He’s seen it, I’ve seen it. Hell, I didn’t make it to the top (rope). That is what happens when your legs are tired out there. It happens. But believe me my man, anybody walking, if one doesn’t get you, the other one will, and that is exactly what happened.”
