“I’m going to f*ck you up,” Styles told Knight. “Sunday.”
“Sunday? Tonight,” Knight responded. “Are you going to be at SmackDown, p*ssy? Are you going to be there?”
Styles and Knight have been feuding with each other for months. The story has escalated in recent weeks, including a segment that aired on SmackDown two weeks ago where Knight showed up at Styles’ house and fought with him. It was said that Styles declined to press charges after Knight was “arrested.”
Styles then threatened that he wouldn’t show up to SmackDown last Friday if Knight was there. Knight disguised himself as a staff member and attacked Styles.
Tonight’s SmackDown is being held at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Styles vs. Knight is part of the lineup for WrestleMania 40 night two this Sunday.
