In a stunning move that’s more electric than a toaster in a bathtub, United States Champion LA Knight has reportedly inked a new deal with WWE that promises to keep him in the squared circle for several years—and a truckload of money, too! The move puts Knight alongside fellow contract extenders like Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins, and that guy who won’t let the third “L” go to his head—Finn Balor. Even Natalya, who’s been around longer than some fans have been alive, got in on the extension action!

According to the scoop from Fightful Select, LA Knight re-signed with WWE sometime this summer, likely after realizing that beach time and suntans don’t pay the bills. His restructured contract is reported to be worth a king’s ransom, although the exact figures remain a mystery, much like the whereabouts of Vince McMahon’s lost mustache.

This news shouldn’t come as a shocker, considering that back in September 2023, word on the street was that Knight and WWE were on the verge of sealing a five-year deal. The only hiccup? They were miles apart on the financial details, which we all know is just fancy wrestling talk for “we want more zeros on that check, pal.”

Knight’s previous deal was set to expire in early 2025, but with this new extension, he’s not going anywhere—except to the bank. And with his recent United States Championship win over “The Maverick” Logan Paul at WWE SummerSlam, Knight’s star is shining brighter than a SmackDown stage after a fresh coat of pyro. Sorry, Logan, but your 273-day reign just got cut shorter than a guest spot on Miz TV.

And tonight, the LA Knight party continues on SmackDown, where he’s expected to celebrate his SummerSlam victory. Expect balloons, confetti, and probably some poor sap getting his teeth knocked out in the process.

I like ice cream, taking a back seat, wondering who I am, and pretending kayfabe is real. May or may not be the Real Dark Brandon. For the LOLZ. MALARKEY!
