LA Knight Injury Rumor Shut Down by WWE

Fans of LA Knight can breathe a sigh of relief—he’s not injured after all. Despite Luekens Wine & Spirits claiming the WWE Superstar had to pull out of a December 17 meet and greet due to an injury, Fightful Select now reports that WWE denies the claim.

According to sources, Knight was never injured, nor was he even approved for the appearance. The confusion stemmed from Luekens Wine & Spirits announcing on social media, “While we’re sad to announce that WWE Superstar LA Knight is unable to attend the December 17th event due to injury, we’ve got great news: WWE Superstar Braun Strowman has stepped up to replace him!”

However, WWE quickly clarified the situation behind the scenes. Knight’s absence wasn’t injury-related; he simply wasn’t booked for the event in the first place. While fans initially worried about the severity of an alleged injury, this update puts those concerns to rest.

Braun Strowman is still stepping in for Knight, ensuring fans who attend the event won’t leave disappointed. Known for his powerhouse persona, Strowman brings his own level of star power to the table, even if fans were expecting Knight. One fan summed up the sentiment perfectly: “Glad LA Knight is okay, but Strowman’s a solid replacement.”

With LA Knight last seen wrestling during the December 13 tapings of WWE SmackDown—in a match set to air on December 20—it’s clear he’s staying active and ready for what’s next.
