LA Knight has defeated The Miz in their first-ever meeting.
Tonight’s WWE Payback Premium Live Event saw Knight defeat The Miz in singles action, with veteran Superstar John Cena as the special guest referee.
Cena, the Payback host for tonight, came to the ring for a promo following the Steel Cage opener. Cena said he found out his job as host is to make this show as special as he can, and what better way than to be the special guest referee for a match he’s had his eye on – The Miz vs. LA Knight. Miz ended up coming out to have words with Cena, but LA interrupted and the match began.
Cena had words with both Superstars during the match, but LA ended up getting a clean win. After the match, LA and Cena had a tense moment on the stage but they shook hands in a show of respect, then Cena raised LA’s arm in victory as fans cheered them on.
