"He had to leave because the show was over. At some point, everybody has to go home. He stormed out? I didn't even know. No idea. I got to the back, I got the monitor, I saw the rest of the deal. He was already back there before I was. His ass got tossed already. I didn't know anything about it. I didn't know anything about it until I was sitting at home Sunday night and somebody sent me an article. I was like, 'Ah, that's interesting,'" he said.

Asked how things are dealt with when such a situation arises, Knight replied, "I can't tell you the inner workings here, but there were some conversations had, I will tell you that."

LA Knight referenced the report on the February 7th episode of WWE SmackDown, saying he had to get his stuff in.
