LA Knight Named Special Guest Referee for The Usos vs. Bronson & Breakker at WWE Wrestlepalooza

The highly anticipated tag team showdown between the reunited Usos and The Vision’s Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed just got a major twist. WWE Raw General Manager Adam Pearce announced during the Wrestlepalooza pre-show that none other than LA Knight will serve as the special guest referee.
How It Came Together
Earlier in the day, tensions boiled over when Jimmy and Jey Uso clashed with Breakker and Reed in a heated backstage brawl. Pearce stepped in, explaining that the match had “a little too much energy” for a standard referee to manage. While making clear that he respected his officials, Pearce admitted the situation called for someone with more size, experience, and familiarity with the competitors involved.
Enter LA Knight.
At first, Knight resisted the assignment, saying he had no interest in calling it down the middle. But he ultimately accepted, telling the camera that he was “the only guy for the job.” Knight added that the rules would be “a little flimsy” under his watch, promising the combatants the freedom to beat the hell out of each other.

Knight’s Complicated History
This decision doesn’t come without intrigue. Knight has been at odds with The Vision in recent weeks, and his relationship with Jey Uso soured when he dropped Jey with a BFT to close Monday’s Raw. With that bad blood still fresh, fans are already speculating whether Knight will lean toward impartiality or let his grudges shape how the match unfolds.
What to Expect
Inside sources have hinted that this bout is primed for a big surprise. There’s buzz that tonight could be the beginning of an Usos vs. Usos storyline, or perhaps Paul Heyman has another ace up his sleeve—maybe even unveiling a new member of The Vision. Either way, the addition of LA Knight as referee raises the stakes dramatically.

Fans should keep an eye on whether Knight truly lets chaos reign or if his personal vendettas dictate the pace. One thing is certain: this match now carries implications far beyond Wrestlepalooza itself.
