According to Fightful Select, LA Knight did not appear on this week’s episode of SmackDown as he tested positive for the Coronavirus. Knight was set to help John Cena in a segment against the Bloodline and then team with Cena in a post-show dark match but had to leave the building as a result of his positive diagnosis. PWInsider.com reports that Knight gave WWE permission to share that he tested positive.

Get well soon. Check out what Knight can do when he is around:

Opinion: That is not something you want to hear and all that matters is Knight getting healthy again soon. Hopefully he is back on his feet and in the ring as soon as possible and doesn’t have any long term effects of the virus.
