We have an update on LA Knight.
In the fall of 2023, it had been reported that LA Knight was signing a new five-year WWE deal imminently. However, Fightful Select reported that while the two sides were in negotiations, but were far apart on money. There’s a significant update in that regard.
For a number of months, there was no deal, but we’re told that changed in the summer months. Based on what Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp has learned, LA Knight restructured and extended his WWE contract for a large money increase and will be remaining with the company for a number of years.
Originally, LA Knight’s deal was to run into early 2025. However, we’re told now that significant time was added to it and Knight got what was considered a much-deserved pay increase.
We're told that LA Knight used an agent for the new deal and that re-negotiations kicked back up after WrestleMania.
