WWE has officially placed LA Knight in a major role at tonight’s inaugural WrestlePalooza, with a report from BodySlam confirming he will serve as the special guest referee for the tag team match between The Usos and The Vision.
The move injects volatility into the bout. Knight was recently ambushed on Raw by Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, an attack that cost him a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. His issues aren’t limited to The Vision, as he and Jey Uso have also traded finishers in recent weeks.
The high-stakes tag match joins a stacked card for the premiere event, headlined by Cody Rhodes defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre.
With Knight now holding the power as the official, his ability to remain impartial will be the deciding factor in a match where he has grudges against competitors on both sides of the ring.
