LA Knight will face Cody Rhodes in a first-time ever match on WWE RAW tonight.
Knight vs. Rhodes was created after the two Superstars exchanged words on Twitter. As PWMania.com previously reported, Knight tweeted Sunday night that WrestleMania 39 needs a LA Knight moment.
“EVERYBODY knows you can’t have an LA Wrestlemania without LA Knight. But @wwe is late to the game, DRAGGING THEIR FEET on giving Wrestlemania the opportunity for an LA Knight moment. It’s about damn time I get a heads up. I’m done waiting,” Knight wrote.
Rhodes then suggested a Providence, RI match for RAW tonight.
“Well I don’t want to be outta’ practice by #WrestleMania. If you’re in Providence, stand opposed…what are we waiting for? #WWERaw,” Rhodes wrote.
Knight accepted and warned Rhodes to brace.
“Whatever any of this gobbledygook meant. It’s amazing all these ‘top guys’ feel the need to be in my business.Threatened much? The answer is clearly YEAH. I can be there in a couple hours, but practice? Buckle up for a long night my guy,” Knight responded.
WWE confirmed the match for tonight’s RAW.
