LA Knight retained the WWE United States Championship at WWE Crown Jewel, defeating Carmelo Hayes and Andrade in a triple threat bout.
At one point in the match, Andrade and Carmelo were battling on the top rope, when Knight tried to leap from the ring mat and land on the top rope. Unfortunately, he slipped a bit, crouching himself on the turnbuckle. He managed to recover enough to deliver a german suplex to Andrade.
On the WWE Crown Jewel post-show, Big E asked Knight how his groin was.
"Thankfully, it was more inner-thigh that caught that. What's crazy is, I overshot the hell out of that. You see my heel slip, bop, there it went. That stuff happens. Instead of me whining, crying, complaining about it. You know what's going to happen? Instead of celebrating, probably for the next three or four days, I'm going to be in a ring and I'm going to be doing three to five sets of ten and hitting that thing over and over again. I'm a little hot about it when I think about it. At the same time, recovery, ended up working out. At the end of the day, still walking out with my United States Champion," he said.
