As the WWE Universe tunes in for a special international edition of Monday Night RAW, the biggest question of the day has been answered. According to a breaking report, LA Knight Backstage presence has been confirmed at the PSD Bank Dome in Düsseldorf, Germany.
LA Knight Backstage: “YEAH, He is Supposed to Be There”
Following up on reports from Sunday, Fightful Select has definitively confirmed that LA Knight was scheduled to be backstage at today’s show. The outlet notes that Knight was planned to travel to the site of RAW earlier in the week, and his presence in the arena is now verified.
While the report stops short of officially confirming he will walk through the curtain tonight, Fightful adds a crucial piece of logistical context: WWE “rarely” flies talent to Europe in the middle of a tour unless they intend to use them on television. Flying a top star across the Atlantic solely for a dark segment or morale would be an unusual expense, suggesting that his return to the screen is imminent.
Creative Implications: Why This Matters
The confirmation of LA Knight Backstage in Germany signals the end of a significant hiatus. Knight has been absent from WWE television for over a month following a storyline injury at the hands of The Vision. His return comes at a critical juncture on the “Road to WrestleMania,” with the Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia fast approaching.
Fightful’s report also touches on Knight’s long-term security with the company, reiterating that he signed a lucrative contract extension in the Summer of 2025. This deal keeps him with WWE for “several more years,” dispelling any quiet concerns that his absence was contract-related. WWE officials clearly view him as a cornerstone of the brand, and his reintroduction tonight would likely insert him directly into a top-tier program for the Rumble event.
Chris Jericho & MCMG Status Updates
Beyond the news of LA Knight Backstage, Fightful also addressed two other persistent rumors swirling in the online wrestling community:
Chris Jericho Rumor Killer
Despite speculation, Chris Jericho has not been seen anywhere backstage at RAW today. Fightful Select sources claim that the wrestling legend was “not factored in to creative plans” that they have seen for the show. This update serves as a definitive “rumor killer” for fans hoping for a shock appearance from “Y2J” on the international stage.
Motor City Machine Guns (MCMG)
Finally, the report provided an update on the Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin). Addressing subscriber questions, Fightful noted that the veteran tag team is reportedly scheduled to work upcoming dates for AAA.
