The backstage reaction to LA Knight’s US Championship open challenge match on SmackDown has now been revealed.
Ahead of Bash In Berlin, Knight defended his US Title on Friday’s (August 30) edition of SmackDown.
After issuing an open challenge, Ludwig Kaiser answered the call, in front of his home country crowd in Berlin, Germany.
Knight was ultimately victorious, pinning Kaiser, who had received major support from the crowd.
Per Fightful Select, the reaction and match ‘went over very well’ backstage.
WWE released a digital exclusive interview with Kaiser following the match, during which Kaiser noted that SmackDown was just a taste of the energy fans will bring to Bash In Berlin.
Kaiser said:
“Are you surprised (at the crowd reaction)? I’m not surprised, we’re in Germany. People over here know how to appreciate European elegance.
“People over here know how to appreciate A+ everything, they know quality when they see it, and guess what they saw tonight? Pure quality. Ludwig Kaiser stepping outside, doing what nobody else can do, that’s what I’ve done tonight.
“Do you know what happened tonight? Tonight was only a little bit of a taste of what’s going to happen tomorrow.
“At Bash In Berlin, what are you looking forward to? I don’t care, because there’s only one thing to watch out for and that’s Randy Orton against the Ring General GUNTHER for the World Heavyweight Championship. Did you hear that tonight? I heard it tonight, I felt it tonight.
“Imagine what happens tomorrow, we are going to blow the roof off this building and at the end of the day, it’s going to be the Ring General lifting the World Heavyweight Championship, like he always does.”
