New travel details hint at a comeback sooner than expected
Summary
– LA Knight is reportedly traveling to Germany ahead of WWE RAW in Düsseldorf
– WWE has not confirmed his appearance, but overseas travel suggests a plan
– Internal listings point to a broader return during Royal Rumble season
LA Knight’s absence from WWE television may be nearing its end. New information suggests the popular star could be on the verge of returning, potentially as early as this week’s episode of RAW in Germany.
According to Fightful Select, Knight was scheduled to travel overseas ahead of the January 11, 2026, edition of RAW, which will air live from the PSD Bank Dome in Düsseldorf. While his appearance has not been officially confirmed, the report notes that WWE rarely sends talent abroad mid-tour without a clear purpose.
This update follows earlier speculation that Knight could return on the January 5 episode of RAW in Brooklyn. That return did not happen, but the new travel details have reignited discussion about his status.
Knight has been sidelined since December 8, 2025, after suffering a cracked sternum during an attack involving The Vision and a Tsunami splash from Bronson Reed. WWE later confirmed the injury on television, announcing that Knight would be out indefinitely.
Less than a month later, signs now point toward a faster-than-expected recovery. The possibility of him appearing in Germany has added intrigue to an already busy international episode of RAW.
Further fueling speculation, Knight has reportedly been listed internally for Royal Rumble week in Saudi Arabia. That placement suggests WWE is preparing for his return as the Road to WrestleMania begins.
WWE is believed to have major plans for LA Knight in 2026, with expectations that he will be positioned as a top babyface. If his return occurs overseas, it could mark the beginning of a significant push moving forward.
