WWE Reports Push For LA Knight Move From SmackDown To Raw

There is a significant backstage push within WWE to move SmackDown star LA Knight to the Monday Night Raw brand, where he would appear regularly on the Netflix-broadcasted show, which many insiders believe would be a refreshing change. LA Knight, one of WWE's most popular Superstars, has only wrestled two matches on Raw since joining WWE in 2021 but has recently made brief Raw appearances. His energy, charisma, and popularity are seen as factors that could give Raw a fresh spark, especially following his recent losses at Money in the Bank 2025 and the King of the Ring tournament. Meanwhile, former WWE CEO Vince McMahon has expressed interest in combat sports again by attempting to acquire a stake in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, though the deal did not materialize; many believe McMahon's return to wrestling is likely given his influence and passion for the business. Despite recent controversies, McMahon remains respected among many wrestlers, who credit him for shaping their careers. Additionally, WWE continues to engage fans through digital content such as a new WWE Playlist episode highlighting John Cena ambush moments, while wrestling legend Chris Jericho has notably lost weight during his AEW hiatus.
