SUMMARY
- AJ Styles and LA Knight's feud has been going on since a while now.

WWE continued its buildup to WrestleMania 40 on the recent edition of SmackDown, as several great moments took place on the show. Among everything that happened in terms of storyline development, the feud that grabbed a lot of eyeballs due to the 2-hour show was LA Knight vs. AJ Styles.

In what came out as a surprise for the crowd, the Triple H-led promotion aired a video package in which Knight invaded Style’s home. As the in-ring stars were brawling, the police came to the location, and the fan-favorite superstar got arrested. Even though it was a cool idea, the execution has left fans disappointed.
The WWE Universe isn’t happy with LA Knight’s invasion
As soon as the organization showed LA and Styles’ segment on Friday Night SmackDown, fans started sharing their reactions to it. But looking at the kind of responses they’ve been sharing, it seems like the WWE Universe isn’t really happy with LA Knight’s invasion.
Taking a dig at the way this whole segment was executed by the Stamford-based promotion, someone from the audience wrote, “Worst invasion of all time.” “Blud is not Triple H,” another member of the pro wrestling community commented while comparing LA’s invasion to how The Game used to do such things during his peak.

AJ Styles and LA Knight are set to fight at WrestleMania 40
Even though WWE’s recent plans for this feud weren’t well accepted by the fans, they still have some time left to make this storyline a hit among the audience. As AJ Styles and LA Knight are set to fight at WrestleMania 40, the Triple H-led promotion has over two weeks to make things work for this high-profile rivalry.
To do so, it’s possible that the company might add a stipulation to their match at The Showcase of the Immortals. In such a scenario, a “Last Man Standing” or “No Disqualification” match seems like a great option. But it’s entirely in the hands of the Stamford-based promotion how they handle this storyline going forward.
