As previously reported, the December 8, 2025 episode of WWE RAW featured The Vision (Bronson Reed and Logan Paul) taking out LA Knight in an injury storyline that removed him from the show. Knight has not appeared since then, but it was reported shortly afterward that the company is positioning him for a top babyface role in 2026.
According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Knight is scheduled to compete at the upcoming 2026 WWE Royal Rumble Premium Live Event (PLE) and is expected to feud with Bron Breakker and Reed upon his return. The report noted that it is unclear whether Knight will return before the Rumble to announce his participation in the 30-Man Royal Rumble Match or if he will simply show up during the match itself.
In a related note, Fightful Select issued a correction regarding the report that Knight traveled to Germany for this week’s RAW. The correction states that Knight was listed on some internal travel plans for Monday’s show but did not actually make the trip. However, he is still expected to be available for Royal Rumble week.
The 2026 WWE Royal Rumble PLE is scheduled to take place on Saturday, January 31, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The event will air live on the ESPN App in the U.S. and on Netflix internationally.
