On the latest Monday Night Raw, LA Knight was defeated by Logan Paul in the main event, which concluded with a 4-1 assault on Knight. After being attacked backstage, he was taken away in an ambulance, sparking fan speculation about his status and whether WWE might be dropping him from the show.
However, according to Fightful Select’s Shawn Ross Sapp, WWE officials clarified that LA Knight still has several years remaining on his contract. They were surprised that some fans interpreted Monday’s segment as a “burial.” There is more behind the scenes than fans realize, including possible friction due to Knight showing a Jey Uso autograph on WWE programming. A source indicated this was part of the creative storyline rather than a real conflict.
Therefore, Knight is not being cut from WWE for holding a sign related to Jey Uso and is not currently in any trouble with the company. At most, this gives him some downtime before making a return.
In fact, WWE is planning to give LA Knight a major push once he comes back. His loss to Bronson Reed at the end of Raw marked the start of a new storyline after some time off. Knight also played a key role in other segments of the show, including the moment when Rey Mysterio, portrayed by Knight, was blindsided by Logan Paul and a Masked Man.
WWE recognizes that Knight is currently out of sync with the fans. While some viewed his “burial” negatively, it is actually setting the stage for his comeback. Historically, Knight was deeply affected but gained fan sympathy when he returned as a big babyface character.
Fan Take: This storyline is crucial for WWE fans as it signals LA Knight’s resilience and potential rise within the company. His upcoming push could bring fresh excitement and elevate the storytelling dynamic in WWE programming.
