The Fatal Four-Way match was complete chaos. Royce Keys leveled Knight with a clothesline and executed an avalanche powerslam on Finn Balor from the ropes. The former AEW star rammed Knight into the steel ring post on the outside. Jey Uso went for a suicide dive, but Keys caught him mid-air and slammed him hard onto the ring apron.

Balor, Uso, and Knight took out Keys. Balor then went to war with the Yeet Master, striking multiple Slingblades. Despite Knight trying to interfere, the former Judgment Day member successfully connected with his top-rope Coup de Grace on Uso. Just as Balor went for the cover, Keys pulled him to break the count.

The Megastar built real momentum in the late stages and had the BFT set up, but Solo Sikoa arrived at ringside and attacked The Megastar with a Samoan Spike. Keys added the Ultimate Spinebuster, and Jey Uso capitalized on the destruction, hitting a top-rope Uso Splash on Knight for the three-count.

Win the win, Jey Uso will face Je’Von Evans in the semifinals of the 2026 King of the Ring tournament.

With WWE SummerSlam right around the corner, Knight’s guaranteed path to a title match is gone. He is right back where he started.

It remains to be seen what the Triple H-led creative team has planned for The Megastar next.
