With LA Knight having quietly started up his own faction ahead of seemingly, finally being called up to the WWE main roster, the charismatic star added another name to his burgeoning group in a dark segment during Friday's episode of SmackDown.

Known as Knight Model Management, the prior week saw the former Eli Drake add Mace as the first member of his faction. Redubbing the powerhouse Face, this segment was featured exclusively on WWE Digital. While WWE has yet to upload any footage of the second person to be added to Knight Model Management, fan footage from the most recent SmackDown taping saw Knight and Face bring Mansoor into the fold.

In this clip, Mansoor is seen at the side of LA Knight as he makes his way out to introduce the crowd to Face.

For those wondering, Mansoor has not been seen on WWE programming since the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal on the SmackDown before WrestleMania 38. Prior to that, the 26-year-old's only other televised appearance in 2022 was teaming with Cesaro on the 14 January episode of SmackDown. There, that random one-off pairing came up short in a fatal four-way bout to crown the #1 contenders for The Usos' SmackDown Tag Team Titles.

It's yet to be made official, but one has to imagine that the ridiculously talented LA Knight and his Knight Model Management group will be debuting on SmackDown sooner rather than later.
