LA Knight Battles WWE Grand Slam Champion After Raw In Cincinnati

The action didn’t stop after the February 24, edition of WWE Monday Night Raw went off the air as LA Knight wowed the crowd in Cincinnati, Ohio. In a dark match, Knight faced off with Ohio’s own The Miz in singles competiton. Despite the match coming in Miz’s home-state, the Cincinnati crowd were firmly behind Knight, who got the win to send the crowd home happy.

Though Knight is a SmackDown Superstar, his appearance after Raw wasn’t entirely a surprise. Shortly before the show went life, it was reported that Knight had been spotted in Cincinatti. Though this left some speculating he’d appear on the broadcast, his role was only for those live in the arena.

WWE Raw served as the final episode of the red brand ahead of Elimination Chamber 2025, with several storylines connecting into the show. On Raw, Cody Rhodes addressed The Rock’s offer to be his champion, and admitted that he has to think about what’s best for his family. Raw also saw Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez win the WWE Women’s Tag Titles, with the duo becoming the first-ever team to win the gold on three occasions.
