Backstage news on LA Knight’s WWE contract extension

Knight is currently one of the most popular wrestlers in WWE.

LA Knight has been the new sensation of professional wrestling in 2023. The self made Megastar is having a great year so far. He had a massive segment with The Undertaker and Bray Wyatt at Raw XXX. He wrestled Bray Wyatt at Royal Rumble in the first ever Pitch Black Match. He gained fame and popularity across the WWE fans throughout the world.

He became the leading merchandise seller in mid-2023. He won the Slim Jim SummerSlam Battle Royal and defeated The Miz at Payback. With his increasing popularity and start-stop push, fans started questioning how long Knight will be in the company. At this stage, a backstage news about his contract extension has been released on the fortunate side.

LA Knight Contract Extension

According to PWInsider's report, LA Knight and WWE have been in talks regarding his contract extension. The contract extension seems to be long-term, and it is said that the talks are about to get finalized or already signed. As per sources, LA Knight has signed a five-year contract extension with WWE, which is expected to expire only by 2028.

Big Push in the making

As many fans were screaming that WWE is not giving the right push for LA Knight considering his age, the report clears that not his age, but the contract was the main obstacle. It was reported that the push for Knight has been delayed to secure a long-term future with the company. 

Backstage talent boards have categorized LA Knight as the top babyface of the blue brand. He will be positioned into the main event once the Undisputed Universal Champion Roman Reigns moves away from the company.

Early betting odds for the 2024 Men's Royal Rumble suggest that Knight is one of the favorites to win the match.
