LA Knight Accuses John Cena Of Almost Costing Him His Match

LA Knight made a big impact after debuting on February 14, 2021 at NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day.

He defeated The Miz at WWE Payback, but apparently blamed John Cena for nearly losing the match.

At the Payback Premium Live Event, LA Knight took on The Miz with John Cena as a special guest referee.

There was a heated moment between Knight and Cena in the match, but Knight managed to win and then Cena raised his hand.

While speaking on The Bump, Knight spoke of his victory over The Miz.

He then sent threatening messages to John Cena, accusing him of nearly losing the game.

“[We’ve heard The Miz before refer to you as a flash in the pan. So, what are you gonna say now that you kinda embarrassed him out there?]

I’m pretty sure I just flashed his pans, as far as I know.

So, let me talk to ya. The guy out here runs his mouth, well, for the better part of the last month or so.

And what did he do? He got dropped on his head again because that’s how it goes down.

Now John Cena, look, neither of us was planning for that. And I’m sure Miz is gonna go and cry and complain about that like he was doing at the very beginning ..

“Here’s the thing, man, John Cena or not, the outcome would’ve been exactly the da*n same.

So, here is the thing, man. Miz, you really came close. As a matter of fact, John Cena almost cost me.

I got all the respect in the world for everything John Cena’s done, but anybody who gets in my way and almost takes dinner off my table, brother, we got something to talk about.

But here’s the thing. He did end up counting the three at the end, didn’t he?

So, yeah, I shook his hand. We’re ain’t best friends or anything.”
