LA Knight could return to WWE action very soon

After weeks of uncertainty and television silence, the name of LA Knight is once again at the center of the conversation. His absence, caused by a supposed injury, left an evident gap in Raw and raised doubts about when one of the wrestlers with the strongest connection to the audience could return to the scene.

Now, everything points to that wait possibly coming to an end sooner than expected. According to a recent report, WWE would be preparing LA Knight's imminent return, with an eye on one of the most significant episodes of the calendar.

According to BodySlam.net, LA Knight could reappear as soon as the January 5, 2026 episode of Monday Night Raw, which will take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. A top-level stage to mark the beginning of his comeback.

Sources tell Bodyslam that LA Knight is expected to return to television very soon and could even come back on next Monday's Raw in Brooklyn.

Knight's absence dates back to the December 8 episode of Raw, when he was attacked by surprise by The Vision and finished off by Bronson Reed with a particularly violent Tsunami. A week later, it was Joe Tessitore himself who confirmed on television that Knight was out of action indefinitely, sparking concern among fans and raising doubts about the impact that absence would have on his momentum.

However, far from slowing down their plans, everything indicates that WWE continues to strongly support him. Previous reports already indicated that the company sees 2026 as a decisive year for LA Knight, with the intention of establishing him as one of the company's top babyfaces.

For next Monday, there have also been rumors that Chris Jericho will make his return to WWE. This rumor has gained traction in recent days, demonstrating that WWE is heavily investing in that show.
