On the April 4th edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown, Jacob Fatu and Braun Strowman faced off in a Last Man Standing match with the winner going on to challenge LA Knight for the WWE United States Championship at WrestleMania 41, with Jacob Fatu coming away as the winner of said match.
In a backstage promo posted to social media following the match, LA Knight addressed Fatu's victory, remarking that he is determined to get beat by him.
"What you just saw is a man with a face that's determined. A determined face of a man who wanted to go to WrestleMania and a man who's determined to get beat by this man. I'm gonna tell you right now, I don't know how much is left out of either jacob patu or out of braun Strowman. More power to him for ripping each other up out there, but here's the deal, man. We walk into WrestleMania, my man, here is only one way it can go. We're talking BFTs. We're talking three the hard way. Let me talk about last man standing. There will be one man standing holding this thing, and ain't you and ain't anybody else on this living earth other than this man with everybody saying, LA, Knight, Yeah!"
