WWE will reportedly be without top star LA Knight for an undisclosed period due to an injury. Knight was originally slated to attend a meet-and-greet event at Luekens Wine & Spirits on December 27. However, the company announced via their Twitter/X account that Knight would be unable to participate due to injury.
The statement read:
“Important Update? While we’re sad to announce that WWE Superstar LA Knight is unable to attend the December 17th event due to injury, we’ve got great news: WWE Superstar Braun Strowman has stepped up to replace him! We’ll be making an announcement shortly with details—stay tuned!”
However, Fightful Select has since reported that Knight is not injured and was purely pulled from the appearance. Knight most recently wrestled at the December 13th WWE SmackDown tapings in a six-man tag team match, which is set to air on December 20. His last televised match saw him defeat Solo Sikoa by disqualification on the December 13th episode of SmackDown.
Fans may recall that Knight dropped the United States Championship to Shinsuke Nakamura during Survivor Series: WarGames.
Further updates regarding LA Knight’s condition and potential return will be shared as they become available. In the meantime, we wish him a speedy recovery.
