Backstage Update On LA Knight’s Current WWE Status

As previously reported, LA Knight was brutally assaulted by The Vision to conclude last Monday night’s episode of RAW, which led some fans to question his standing in WWE following the intense beatdown.

This incident prompted speculation among fans about whether Knight might be written off WWE TV or even fired. Concerns similar to these arose after Knight was seen holding a fan sign during the October 27 episode of RAW that read, “We Want LA Knight, Not Jey.”

According to Fightful Select, Knight isn’t going anywhere; in fact, he signed a new deal with WWE last year and has several years remaining on his contract. The report also noted that people within WWE expressed confusion over the online reaction to the beatdown, emphasizing that it is simply a storyline moment that will be revisited.

Furthermore, the report stated that WWE has consistently maintained that Knight has not faced any heat or punishment for the Jey Uso sign. One creative team member remarked that it would be a “weird punishment” to have Knight defeat Jey Uso in that context. This comes after reports from Bodyslam.net indicated that Knight is being positioned to become a top babyface for the company in 2026.
