Hayes and Andrade have crossed paths with one another on seven different occasions, with both superstars winning three matches each. The two superstars were also unsuccessful in their recent attempts to win the United States Championship.
Following The Megastar's actions on SmackDown, he was confronted backstage by General Manager Nick Aldis. The 37-year-old was furious with Knight's actions and announced a huge Triple Threat Match for the Crown Jewel 2024 Premium Live Event.
At the upcoming PLE, Knight will defend his United States Championship against Andrade and Melo. This will be the 41-year-old star's first title defense at a premium live event.
