LA Knight was reported to have renewed and restructured his contract with WWE by Fightful Select, securing his stay with the company for the future. His previous contract, which was due to end in 2025, has now been extended for a longer period with a significant increase in earnings.
Negotiations for the contract started not long after WrestleMania XL, where Knight, who recently won the United States Championship at SummerSlam, enlisted the help of an agent to work out the details of the deal.
After the August 9th episode of SmackDown, Santos Escobar emerged as the new number one contender after defeating Andrade. This sets the stage for Knight’s first title defense following his recent victory.
Moreover, Knight’s inaugural appearance as the champion was accompanied by the unveiling of a brand-new theme song, which was pointed out by Corey Graves during the broadcast.
It looks like LA Knight is securing his place in WWE for the long run, and with new challenges on the horizon, fans can expect more intense showdowns and exciting developments in the world of professional wrestling.
