LA Knight picked up a huge win on Tuesday.
This week’s episode of WWE NXT featured a clash between Knight and Dexter Lumis, two of the brand’s most dynamic stars. While Lumis used his size and strength to overpower Knight, the NXT newcomer used his athleticism to match the big man.
Lumis floored Knight with a flurry of offense, but Knight continued to use his expertise to counter his opponent. Indi Hartwell popped up at ringside to root Lumis on. But she ultimately cost him the match, as he took his eye off the ball. Knight capitalized by pinning Lumis with a modified cutter.

After the match, Lumis and Hartwell approached each other, seemingly ready for a kiss, but The Way stormed to the ring and carried Hartwell away.
