“Main Event” Jey Uso is set to battle “Megastar” LA Knight in the semifinals of the “Last Time Is Now” tournament, which will determine who faces John Cena at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Washington, D.C. next month. Both Uso and Knight secured their spots by overcoming mystery opponents on Friday’s WWE SmackDown, as Rusev and Sheamus were forced out of the tournament due to injuries.
The evening began with Uso taking on Rusev. Rusev aggressively tried to start strong, but Uso fought back, attempting his signature Samoan Undrop. Despite Rusev’s efforts to reverse the momentum with a pin attempt, Uso managed to keep control, even sending Rusev out of the ring and hitting a suicide dive. Uso eventually sealed the win with a second spear followed by a Uso Splash.
Knight’s mystery opponent was revealed as The Miz, who had already been eliminated from the tournament by Uso. Despite a minor backstage injury, Miz competed with determination. The match spilled outside the ring early, with Knight reversing Miz’s Skull Crushing Finale more than once. After landing his finishing move, the BFT, Knight secured the victory.
Fan Take: This semifinal showdown promises to bring intense action between two highly popular WWE stars, each with strong momentum. For fans, it highlights the rising stakes in the tournament and sets the stage for a thrilling encounter that could define the next big chapter in WWE storytelling.
