The March 7th, 2025 edition of WWE SmackDown was an extremely wild one. Suffice it to say, the WWE Universe in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and those watching around the world had a ball of a time. Fortunately for them, the main event of the evening had more in store, effectively sending the Philly fans present in the Wells Fargo Center happy. LA Knight and Shinsuke Nakamura had a barn-burner United States Championship match.
Both competitors showed out tonight, pulling out all the stops in the name of becoming or retaining the U.S. Championship. Nakamura was on all match, completely going on a massive roll against LA Knight. However, Shinsuke Nakamura got desperate.
In an effort to get disqualified, Shinsuke Nakamura would spit his Red mist, aiming for LA Knight. Knight would get out of harm’s way, with the mist hitting the eyes of Senior WWE Official Charles Robinson. Nakamura would try to swing for the fences one more time, attacking Knight with a steel chair.
Once again, Knight would duck the shot, hit a kick, and give Nakamura a BFT on the chair he tried to use. Another referee would come into the fold, hitting the mat for the 1, 2, and 3. In Philadelphia, LA Knight once again becomes the United States Champion!
What a wild WWE SmackDown that was. Nevertheless, congratulations to the United States Champion, LA. Knight. (Yeah!)
YEAH!
WE HAVE A NEW UNITED STATES CHAMPION!!!#SmackDown pic.twitter.com/Q5SpXFu9q1
