LA Knight is still without a match for WrestleMania 42.
LA Knight has confirmed he’s dealing with a bursa flare-up in his elbow after fans noticed swelling during the March 24 episode of WWE RAW. The Megastar took to social media to reassure fans, stating the issue won’t keep him away from WrestleMania 42.
Despite this, LA Knight still has no confirmed match for the April 18-19 event at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. LA Knight is used to talking big. But right now, the WWE Universe is doing the talking for him, and it’s all about his elbow.
“Being on the backend of a bursa flare up won’t keep me from the road to @WrestleMania.” Knight wrote:
During the March 24 edition of Monday Night RAW, LA Knight jumped in during the tag team match between The Usos and The Vision’s Logan Paul and Austin Theory. He grabbed the brass knuckles from Paul and slid them to Jey Uso. It was a big moment. But what fans noticed after the show wasn’t the interference. It was Knight’s swollen left elbow.
The image spread fast on social media. Speculation grew instantly. Could The Megastar be heading into WrestleMania 42 with a hidden injury?
What exactly is LA Knight dealing with?
LA Knight is managing a bursa flare-up, also known as olecranon bursitis, in his left elbow. It’s a condition that causes noticeable swelling at the tip of the elbow joint, and it’s the same type of issue John Cena dealt with back in 2013.
Knight confirmed this himself on social media, writing that being “on the backend of a bursa flare up” won’t stop him from making it to WrestleMania. While severe cases can take weeks or even months to heal, Knight’s message suggests the worst of it may already be behind him.
Will LA Knight compete at WrestleMania 42?
LA Knight has no confirmed match for WrestleMania 42 as of now, but his injury update strongly hints he plans to be there. His appearance on RAW, despite the elbow issue, shows he’s not stepping back. WWE has not made any official announcement about his status for the April 18-19 event.
This uncertainty, though, isn’t new. Knight had already voiced his frustration over the lack of clear WrestleMania direction weeks before the injury concerns surfaced. He even admitted he didn’t know what his role at Mania would look like.
According to WrestleVotes, his placement on the card depends partly on whether Bron Breakker recovers in time from a hernia surgery.
If Breakker returns to face Seth Rollins, and The Vision squares off against The Usos for the tag titles, Knight could end up as one of the big names left off the WrestleMania 42 card entirely. That’s a tough outcome for one of the top merchandise sellers on the WWE roster right now.
What’s next for The Megastar?
Knight hasn’t competed in a singles match since the Elimination Chamber on February 28. But he’s stayed visible on TV, attacking The Vision and aligning with The Usos. His elbow issue isn’t stopping him from showing up. That itself is a message.
With WrestleMania 42 less than a month away, WWE needs to make a call. Knight clearly wants in. The fans want him on the card. The only question is whether creative can find a spot before it’s too late. Keep your eyes on RAW. The road to Vegas is moving fast.
What injury is LA Knight reportedly dealing with?
LA Knight is reportedly suffering from olecranon bursitis, a condition that causes pain and swelling at the tip of the elbow. The injury went unnoticed during WWE Raw, with neither the commentary team nor anyone in the broadcast addressing it.
Will LA Knight miss WrestleMania 42?
If the olecranon bursitis injury is confirmed and requires full treatment, it could take four to six months to heal, which would mean LA Knight misses WrestleMania 42. However, WWE has not made any official announcement regarding his status.
Where is WrestleMania 42 taking place?
WrestleMania 42 will take place as a two-night event on April 18 and 19, 2026, at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada.
