LA Knight’s Unexpected Absence from SmackDown Revealed

Published on

Positive COVID-19 Test Sidelines the Superstar

LA Knight, a prominent figure in the WWE landscape, was scheduled to appear on this week’s SmackDown. However, plans took a sudden turn when it was revealed that he tested positive for COVID-19. The news came as a surprise to many, especially considering the anticipation surrounding his involvement in the show.

Reports indicate that LA Knight was initially set to be a significant part of SmackDown, with plans for him to be involved in a contract signing segment. He was even slated as a surprise ally for John Cena. Additionally, he was internally listed to team up with Cena in a dark match post-show. However, these plans had to be shelved due to medical reasons.

Sean Sapp confirmed that LA Knight’s absence was not a decision influenced by Vince McMahon but was purely medical-related. The confirmation of LA Knight’s positive COVID-19 test came just before SmackDown, leading to his immediate exit from the venue. While the COVID-19 pandemic has seen a decline in many regions, the virus remains a concern, and such incidents serve as a reminder of its lingering presence.

Fans and the wrestling community alike wish LA Knight a swift recovery, hoping to see him back in action soon.
