In a whirlwind of action on WWE Smackdown, Jacob Fatu, the newly crowned United States Champion, found himself at the center of a storm as he's targeted by every wrestler eager to claim the title. What started as a straightforward Number One Contender's match between LA Knight and Drew McIntyre spiraled into an explosive brawl, thanks to surprise interferences from Solo Sikoa, Damian Priest, and the champion himself.

The match kicked off with LA Knight facing an uphill battle, getting slammed by the more towering McIntyre right out of the gate. However, Knight, showing true grit, fought back fiercely, landing hits to McIntyre’s head and neck. The rivalry heated up, leading to an intense grapple that kept both competitors on their toes. Just when the tide seemed to shift in Knight's favor, things escalated outside the ring.

After failing to seal the deal with a Flying Elbow off the top rope, Knight took McIntyre out and smashed his head onto the announcer's table. But the relentless Sikoa had other plans, intervening and tossing Knight back into the ring like a rag doll. Though McIntyre, known for his disdain for the Bloodline, hesitated momentarily, he quickly sought to turn the tables. Just as he was gearing up for his signature Claymore, Damian Priest burst onto the scene, launching a brutal assault on McIntyre right outside the ring.

In the ensuing chaos, Fatu charged into the ring, dominating the scene and asserting his power as the champion. As it all unfolded, he stood tall amidst the turmoil, reasserting his reign.

Despite the havoc, McIntyre technically claimed victory via disqualification, setting him up as the first contender for Fatu's title. However, it's still uncertain if he will retain his top contendership after such a chaotic conclusion to the match. Fans are left wondering if this turbulent encounter will affect the future of the championship!
