LA Knight Extends WWE Contract With Lucrative Restructured Deal

LA Knight won the WWE United States Title at SummerSlam, snapping Logan Paul’s impressive run as champion. Now, he has even more to celebrate, because the former Eli Drake is also enjoying a new, much more lucrative, WWE contract.

Sean Ross Sapp reported on Fightful Select that while negotiations were ongoing for LA Knight, the two sides were far apart on money. That being said, recently, there has been a significant update in this regard.

It is now being reported that LA Knight has restructured and extended his WWE contract, securing a large pay increase and committing to remain with the company for several years. It was not noted exactly how long this new deal is.

In the fall of 2023, LA Knight was about to sign a new five-year deal with WWE. However, he’s not going anywhere for a long time to come, even though his deal was initially set to expire in 2025. This will undoubtably make a lot of WWE fans very happy to hear.

WWE has handled their contracts differently since Endeavor took over. While some Superstars like Seth Rollins, Chad Gable and others have signed new deals, some like Ricochet and Becky Lynch have departed from the company. LA Knight certainly has a legion of fans who are glad that he falls into the category of Superstars who are staying with WWE.

We will keep a close eye on LA Knight to see what he is able to do next. As WWE United States Champion, he is starting a brand-new chapter in his WWE journey, and you know that he will make everybody say his name soon enough.
