The match begins with LA Knight taking immediate control, striking Carmelo Hayes with a right hand and sending him out of the ring with a clothesline. When Hayes points toward Andrade in the timekeeper area, LA Knight takes advantage of the distraction and kicks Hayes into the announce table.
Following a commercial break, LA Knight maintains his momentum, delivering an atomic drop, a clothesline, a pop-up powerslam, and an elbow drop, though Hayes kicks out of the subsequent pin attempt. Knight continues his assault with stomps in the corner, but as he charges, Hayes counters with a superkick for a close two-count. Knight quickly recovers, hitting a neckbreaker and following up with an elbow drop from the top rope, but Hayes again manages to kick out.
The action accelerates as LA Knight attempts the BFT, which Hayes counters before landing a scissor kick and a cutter for another near-fall. Hayes then leaps from the top rope; Knight dodges, causing Hayes to land on his feet. Hayes attempts a second cutter, but Knight counters and connects with the BFT to secure the pinfall victory.
Winner: Still WWE United States Champion, LA Knight
