LA Knight Battled Through Illness During December 8 WWE RAW

LA Knight’s brutal night on the December 8 episode of WWE RAW had fans worried—but it turns out there was more going on than anyone realized.

After losing to Logan Paul and getting beat down in a four-on-one attack, Knight was later ambushed backstage to close the show. The segment sparked wild speculation online, with many assuming he was being written off WWE TV—or even on his way out of the company altogether. But now there’s a key update that changes everything.

According to Fightful Select, LA Knight wasn’t just working that night—he was reportedly sick. Despite the physicality of the match and multiple segments, Knight still pushed through.

“It was claimed that LA Knight battled through an unspecified sickness on WWE Raw. He ended up performing,” the report stated.

As for all the rumors about his status? Sources inside WWE are shutting it down completely. Knight is still under contract, and one insider told Fightful that the storyline beatdown was “a standard story beat that will be revisited.”

And no—there’s no punishment in play, either. Some fans floated the idea that Knight holding up a “We want LA Knight, not Jey Uso” sign backstage last month led to this beatdown, but WWE creative sources dismissed that outright. One even said: “Being booked to beat Jey Uso would be a weird punishment.”

So what does this mean for LA Knight’s future? He’s still very much in the mix—and if he’s willing to perform through illness, it’s clear he’s not going down without a fight. The Megastar might have been left lying on RAW, but his return fire could be coming sooner than anyone expects.
