LA Knight gave a stern warning to Gunther ahead of their Last Time Is Now Tournament finals on WWE SmackDown.
The December 5 episode of Friday Night SmackDown featured one of the most important weekly matches in the history of WWE. The Finals of the Last Time Is Now Tournament between Knight and Gunther was scheduled for the night in the main event. Right after Ilja Dragunov’s US title open challenge against Carmelo Hayes, Knight appeared backstage with Cathy Kelley, who had sharp words for the Ring General ahead of their match.
LA Knight Warns Gunther Before Last Time is Now Tournament Finals on SmackDown
Knight, in all confidence, appeared for the backstage interview. Kelley asked him about facing multiple mystery opponents in the tournament and still succeeding and reaching the finals, but now, as he faces Gunther, how sure he is of his victory. Knight gave a brilliant answer,
I don’t want repeat myself too much, but I’ve already said before. I’ll say it again. As far as dream opponents things like that. I
don’t really care about that. What I care about is if I beat John Cena, that means I cement my legacy. Now, there’s one man standing in my way, but the last time is now. The last time is now for either me or for Gunther.Now you got to think about it. Gunther is a former intercontinental Champion. He’s a former world heavyweight champion, but you don’t understand. You’re looking in the eyes right now of an unstoppable force. Something you ain’t never seen before. Something you ain’t ready for. So I tell you what Gunther, it’s gonna be a bit of a fight.
And if it’s a fight you want? Alright, alright, alright. You can get dropped on your head, like all the rest, with everybody saying. L! A! Knight! YEAH!” (0:16 – 1:16)
The last time is NOW!

Knight began the tournament against his first mystery opponent, Zack Ryder, and overcame the challenge to proceed to the next round. He was scheduled to face Sheamus, but the Celtic Warrior ended up getting injured and replaced by another mystery opponent, who turned out to be The Miz. Knight overcame the Awesome One and faced Jey Uso, beating him surprisingly.
Now, just one last obstacle remains in his way: Gunther, and it would be interesting to see who wins the match or what chaos erupts during the finals, and who goes on to retire John Cena on Saturday, December 13.
