The likes of Bron Breakker and “Big” Bronson Reed have been on an absolute tear ever since they got under the tutelage of Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman. On this week’s SmackDown, the unbridled duo targeted LA Knight yet again. The Megastar kicked off the show and asked The Visionary to come out. He wasn’t in the building, so Heyman answered Knight’s call instead.
The Wiseman warned the erstwhile Eli Drake to get out of Grand Rapids as fast as he possibly could, or else be ready for the consequences. Just as Heyman said those words, Breakker and Reed made their way out and made a beeline for Knight. However, the latter didn’t back down and got himself into a 1-on-2 disadvantage. The Defiant One, as his nickname suggests, brought out a steel chair to even up the odds.
Seeing his boys getting beaten up, Heyman asked them to retreat for the moment as Knight stood tall in the ring. However, the former US Champion went one-on-one with The Auszilla later in the show. Just when it looked like Knight was in control, Breakker, who was at the ringside, charged in and flattened the 42-year-old with a spear. It caused a disqualification, and the match had to be called off.
The Steiner descendant would then go on to clock The Megastar with two more spears. After he was done, it was Reed’s turn to annihilate Knight with a trifecta of Tsunamis. It’s worth noting that the Maryland native cost Breakker the King of the Ring tournament round one clash. Reed would avenge it by costing Knight the same way, and the latter followed suit by making sure The Auszilla lost his leg in the KOTR bout.
Fans React to Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed’s Annihilation of LA Knight on SmackDown
Many fans expected the rivalry between Knight and Seth Rollins to continue. While Breakker ruined The Megastar’s chances at the KOTR tournament, the latter quickly returned the favor. However, they have garnered a lot of heat after their brutal beatdown of Knight on SmackDown.
One fan was horrified after what transpired on the show and stated it was just too much. The assault was so brutal that another fan felt bad for the former United States Champion. While some fans joked about how Knight had no friends backstage, others expected Damian Priest to come out and help him. Here are some of the top reactions from fans:
One user felt that Knight needed some urgent backup to fight The Visionary’s faction. Another user predicted that The Megastar would return with vengeance at SummerSlam and foil Rollins’ plans to win the world title. Many fans claimed that Jacob Fatu would be one of the first wrestlers to support Knight against the evil faction.
