Having been off TV for over a month by now, it appears that the WWE return of LA Knight is on the imminent horizon.

Per Fightful Select, the Megastar was scheduled to travel to Germany this week. As it happens, tonight's edition of WWE Raw takes place from the PSD Bank Dome in Düsseldorf, Germany. Fightful cannot outright confirm that Knight will appear on Raw, but it's extremely rare for WWE to have a talent travel internationally for no reason. So, logic would suggest that the former United States Champion will have a role to play later today...

The last time fans saw LA Knight was on the 8 December edition of Raw, where he was brutally attacked several times by the Vision, including taking a Tsunami Splash from Bronson Reed on the top of a car. That was done to write LA off TV, amidst reports that the 43-year-old was set for big things in 2026. And on that front, WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select recently mentioned Knight as one of the names listed internally for the Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia later this month.

As for what role LA Knight will have should he indeed return on today's Raw, it seems a safe bet for him to pick things back up with the Vision, being out for revenge on the faction for putting him on the shelf. That said, many fans have called for Knight to be worked into the World Heavyweight Title picture as a potential Royal Rumble opponent for CM Punk. Either way, it sounds like there's an incredibly strong chance of seeing LA back on our screens today.
