Miz attempted to end the match with the Figure Four, trying to force a submission with Cena’s signature hold. Knight fought to the ropes and survived long enough to mount his comeback. A burst of late momentum allowed Knight to score the deciding fall and move into the semifinals.
Knight will now meet Jey Uso on Raw, with the tournament finals looming next week to determine Cena’s final opponent.
