Backstage News on LA Knight Injury – Fans concerned about LA Knight’s recent absence from WWE programming can breathe easy—a new report confirms that his injury is purely part of a storyline. According to PWInsider, the injury that “wrote off” the former United States Champion is “100% a work” and tied to ongoing creative plans.
Knight was viciously attacked by Bronson Reed on the June 20 episode of SmackDown, with Reed delivering multiple Tsunami splashes to close out the segment. WWE followed up on RAW, announcing that Knight had suffered separated rib cartilage and a bruised sternum. However, sources now confirm that this is all part of a scripted angle.
The move comes at an interesting time, as internal support for Knight joining the RAW brand appears to be growing. While WWE hasn’t made any official roster moves, Knight’s multiple RAW guest appearances and this feud with RAW’s Bronson Reed suggest a potential transition is in the works.
The angle also has the backing of WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash, who has publicly stated that LA Knight deserves a run with a world title. With Bronson Reed now aligned with Seth Rollins’ new heel faction, the storyline could evolve beyond a one-on-one feud and into something more significant—potentially involving Money in the Bank implications.
For now, Knight remains off-screen, but it’s clear WWE has not forgotten about him—and fans should expect a calculated return as the storyline continues to unfold.
