LA Knight, The Miz segment set for WWE SmackDown

A new segment has been announced for WWE SmackDown.

LA Knight and The Miz are now advertised “to meet face-to-face” on Friday’s show, one night before their singles match at WWE Payback. 

From WWE.com:

Whether it be general mockery, doing of impressions of each other, or interfering in matches, both competitors are guilty of fueling the fire of their explosive conflict. Miz claims that his adversary is simply a flash in the pan that people will quickly forget, while Knight says The A-Lister, despite his years in the squared circle and his accolades, is nothing more than a “never was.” What will happen when the two Superstars come face-to-face one day before their showdown?

Knight vs. Miz on Saturday will be the first time the two have met in singles action. 

WWE SmackDown on Friday, September 1, 2023, takes place from the Giant Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania. According to WrestleTix, 8607 tickets have been distributed to the show. John Cena is set to return on the show, as is Jimmy Uso. The only match confirmed for Friday has the LWO’s Rey Mysterio & Santos Escobar teaming up to wrestle Austin Theory & Grayson Waller. Mysterio will defend his United States Championship against Theory at Payback on Saturday.
