LA Knight Comments on WWE Holding King of the Ring Matches at House Show Events

As noted before, WWE held two King of the Ring and two Queen of the Ring tournaments First Round matches at their house show events this past weekend. Among those who had their matches bumped off of WWE television for these house show events was LA Knight.

In a recent response to a fan, LA Knight stated on Twitter that he does not view his King of the Ring match against Santos Escobar being relegated to a house show event as being a bad thing nor as a sign of a lack of respect by WWE.

I appreciate everyone saying this match should’ve been on TV. But, no need to throw live event crowds under the bus.

Live events are where the @WWE roster has as much fun as possible.

Not only having a great match, but a match with HUGE stakes makes the live events more fun!🚀 https://t.co/VojlY86f8d
