WWE’s LA Knight appears to be all set for the foreseeable future as he has renegotiated and extended his contract with the company, which is expected to ensure that he remains with the company for a long time to come. Having prepared for its expiration in early 2025, this new deal adds more time to Knight’s tenure and also includes a raise in pay.
Since his return to WWE in 2021, LA Knight has experienced a stark rise in fame, with him establishing himself as a crowd favorite in SmackDown. His unique style of cutting promos and his ability to wrestle are quickly earning him comparisons to iconic figures like The Rock and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. All this newfound fame facilitated him in achieving remarkable success, which includes a victory over Logan Paul for the United States Champion title in August 2024 at SummerSlam.
LA Knight Contract Extension Details
Sources state that Knight’s contract renegotiation took place in summer of 2024. This extension not only manages to extend his stay in WWE but also balances well with the growth of his popularity within the company. After WrestleMania 40, Knight enlisted an agent and went back to retrain with him, hoping to secure a better deal.
With this development, all doubts regarding LA Knight switching companies can be laid to rest, in addition to LA Knight wanting to leave WWE, considering the competitiveness of the wrestling world.
WWE followers should know that Knight’s role in WWE will feature prominently in the company’s upcoming storylines.
He became a United States Champion during the months he extended his contract with WWE and beat some really strong competitors to retain the title. He held on to it for a whole 119 days, and lost it to Shinsuke Nakamura at Survivor Series: WarGames on November 30, 2024.
With Knight’s growing responsibilities at WWE alongside his loyalty to the company, it is safe to assume that he will be involved in its programming scheduling in the foreseeable future. His ability to captivate the audience indicates that he will continue to be in the chase of more titles in the coming years.
