After years in the pro-wrestling circuit, WWE's rising star, LA Knight, is finally getting the recognition and spotlight he rightly deserves.

According to PWInsider.com, long-term contract negotiations are currently underway between WWE and Knight. This agreement could possibly stretch up to five years. This news doesn't come as a shock to those who are already familiar with Knight's journey. His impressive tenure under the moniker Eli Drake in Impact Wrestling and NWA culminated in his WWE signing in 2021. Although he started on the NXT brand, his charisma was undeniable, leading to a relatively quick transition to the main roster.

Knight's WWE journey has been full of unexpected twists. Originally dubbed as Max Dupri, he played a head honcho at Maximum Male Models. However, following a leadership change with Triple H taking the reins from Vince McMahon, the LA Knight persona was brought back, much to fans' delight.
