LA Knight has been referred to as a Main Event caliber mega-star on the black-and-gold brand, but a Colossal challenge awaits in a showdown with Bronson Reed this Wednesday night.

LA Knight has electrified NXT with his infectious personality since his NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day debut, and he backed up the talk with a win in his first clash with August Grey last week. The newcomer put himself on the towering Superstar’s radar by costing him in a matchup against Cameron Grimes, but Reed nearly returned the favor with a rip of LA Knight’s jacket that cut to the self-centered core of the headliner.

It’s time. Make it happen, @RealKingRegal

Despite the wardrobe malfunction, LA Knight continued to jaw at Reed with a social media back-and-forth setting this week’s match in motion.
