Latest on LA Knight's contract (Patreon)

Not so fast on LA Knight’s contract.

It was reported recently that LA Knight and WWE were close to nailing down a new five year contract that would keep him in the company. We’re told that while WWE and LA Knight have been in conversations, WWE sources claim that elements of the story aren’t quite accurate.

It is true that Knight and WWE have been engaged in extension talks, and that a five year deal was offered. However, we’re told the two sides were far apart on money as of now, and that no deal has been agreed to, and doesn’t appear imminent, but they’ll keep negotiating.

Another WWE higher up said that there isn’t truth to the idea that LA Knight’s push was tied to a new contract, citing that a significant number of wrestlers on the roster have deals coming up next year and are still getting pushes. Knight’s current WWE deal runs well into 2025, and has over a year and a half left on it.
