“Game 7” in the series between Andrade and Carmelo Hayes had an extra stipulation with United States champion LA Knight acting as the special guest referee. After the issues between all three men resulted in Knight getting upset at both of them, he decided to ignore his duties as the match’s official and lay them out instead, ruling himself the winner of the bout, if anyone.
To punish him for this, SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis then declared that Knight will face both Andrade and Carmelo Hayes at Crown Jewel as he’ll put his United States Championship on the line in a Triple Threat match.
There's no keeping these two away from each other! 😤🔥
