WWE is just days away from wrapping up another successful year. The company will then head into the RAW Netflix era, and the official kickoff to WrestleMania 41 Season. LA Knight has cemented his spot as one of WWE's top Superstars despite a recent devastating loss. Knight has just revealed what appears to be a major roster change in the works.

The Megastar returned to World Wrestling Entertainment in 2021 after spending a few years in TNA and the NWA and on the Indies. He was re-packaged as Max Dupri on the main roster but then reverted back to LA Knight, and the rest is history. The former Eli Drake dethroned Logan Paul of the United States Championship, but dropped the strap to Shinsuke Nakamura at Survivor Series two weeks back, ending his first main roster championship reign right at 120 days.

Knight has been a member of the SmackDown roster since May 2022. However, it looks like the 42-year-old may be headed to the red brand as WWE looks to load up its flagship show for the Netflix premiere on January 6. He took to X today to share a RAW Netflix promo, and seemingly announce that The Greatest Orator In Professional Wrestling is headed to Monday nights:

"Coming soon... @netflix YEAH!," LA Knight wrote with the promo below.

Coming out of Survivor Series, Knight confronted Nakamura but was interrupted by Andrade. The New Bloodline then attacked Knight and Andrade, and this led to Knight defeating Sikoa by DQ on last Friday's SmackDown, due to interference by Jacob Fatu. After the match, Andrade and Apollo Crews saved LA from another beatdown, but they were also victims of the numbers game.

LA Knight's new war with Solo Sikoa and The New Bloodline will continue on this Friday's WWE SmackDown. LA has enlisted the help of Andrade and Apollo Crews to deal with The New Bloodline.

This week's SmackDown was taped last week in Hartford, CT, due to the holidays, and SK Wrestling has full spoilers available. Knight is scheduled to team with Crews and Andrade to face Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and Tama Tonga. The match opened last week's tapings but is being teased as Friday's main event.

SmackDown will also feature Naomi replacing the injured Jade Cargill to team with Bianca Belair against Candice LeRae and Nia Jax, with the Women's Tag Team Championship on the line. Officials have also announced a Kevin Owens promo, Johnny Gargano vs. Alex Shelley, and Braun Strowman on The Grayson Waller Effect, for Friday night.
