2-time WWE champion set to return; could be sooner than expected - Reports

WWE entered a new era following Saturday Night's Main Event, and in the coming days, the company will enter a new year with the first Monday Night RAW set to take place in New York. Meanwhile, a new report suggests that LA Knight is set to return soon.

Earlier this month, The Vision put a stop to LA Knight on the red brand when the trio viciously attacked him, and Bronson Reed wrote him off from the weekly product when he delivered a Tsunami to The Megastar on top of a car and was taken to a local medical facility.

While multiple reports have indicated what's next for the two-time WWE United States Champion and the management's reported plans for Knight, a new report sheds light on his return to the product. According to Bodyslam, LA Knight is set to return in January 2026.

However, the report highlights that the return could be as soon as the first edition of WWE RAW in 2026. It's been less than a month since Knight was written off television, and if the report is true, The Megastar's return will take place sooner than expected.

Wrestling veteran on whether WWE has buried LA Knight on Monday Night RAW

LA Knight has faced several ups and downs on the red brand, as he often failed to defeat The Vision or capture the World Heavyweight Championship. Moreover, he was in the finals of 'The Last Time is Now' but failed to become John Cena's final-ever opponent in the industry.

Speaking on Story Time with Dutch Mantell, the popular manager gave his take on Knight's run on the red brand. The legendary manager stated that the previous management was known to bury stars if they became successful on their own. However, that's not the case with the two-time WWE United States Champion on the red brand.

Moreover, a report previously indicated that the management thinks highly of LA Knight and wants to establish him as one of the top babyfaces on Monday Night RAW. It'll be interesting to see what's next for The Megastar when he returns to the weekly product.
