Update On LA Knight’s Status Ahead of WWE Royal Rumble

Will LA Knight appear at the WWE Royal Rumble?

Fans have been clamoring for The Megastar’s return ever since he was written off television following a backstage assault. Knight had been involved in a feud with The Vision in his last WWE storyline.

After losing to Logan Paul on the December 8, 2025 episode of WWE RAW, LA Knight was dragged backstage by The Vision and planted with a Tsunami by Bronson Reed on top of an SUV.

He was initially reported to have been brought to Germany for the January 12 RAW taping at the PSD Bank Dome in Düsseldorf. However, fans in attendance and those watching at home saw no sign of the former United States Champion.

Interestingly, LA Knight appeared in a commercial with Ric Flair that aired during TNA iMPACT’s debut on AMC on January 15. That said, a new update on The Megastar seemingly confirms his WWE Royal Rumble status.

According to Fightful Select, LA Knight was scheduled to travel to Saudi Arabia as of earlier this month. The report also noted that “there are decorations on hand implying he will be there.”

WWE’s Saudi Arabia tour begins with SmackDown tomorrow night in Riyadh, followed by the 39th annual Royal Rumble premium live event on Saturday. WrestleZone will have coverage of both shows as they air live.
