SmackDown has produced quality storylines and tons of moments over the last few years. The positive trajectory continues to be intact. One reason for the blue brand to do so well is because of the emergence of LA Knight. With SummerSlam looming, Knight has no opponent for now, but that might change soon.

A former WWE Champion has recently taken a dig at Knight through social media, possibly setting a match between the two stars.

LA Knight has proved his mettle over the past few months with strong reception everywhere he goes. While his segments are entertaining, he has made tons of enemies for himself.

Now WWE legend Sheamus has slyly taunted the 40-year-old.

On his Twitter, Sheamus mocked the famous catchphrase of Knight, “YEAH” and added his spin to the catchphrase. Calling him “an anxious human” the Celtic warrior tried to ruffle Knight’s feathers. 

You can check out the tweet below:

While usually, we know Sheamus for his sense of humor. This time around, it doesn’t feel like banter. On the latest episode of SmackDown, Rey Mysterio beat LA Knight, Sheamus, and Grimes in a fatal four-way match to advance to the US Invitational. 

An angry Sheamus might have his eyes set on LA Knight to compete at SummerSlam and make a powerful statement. One waits to see the dynamics unfold in the coming weeks and how a matchup between the two would shape up. 

A Sheamus vs Knight match in the making?

While both superstars didn’t get a victory for themselves, they came close to winning multiple times throughout the match.

With Knight’s surge in popularity and his generating incredible sales and views for WWE, it makes sense for Sheamus to challenge the former at SummerSlam.

Although the Irish superstar doesn’t need Knight’s rub, a victory against the upcoming superstar would once again make Sheamus pop out. It could also propel him toward the main event status.
