LA Knight is staying on the blue brand.
So far on the first night of the WWE Draft, top WWE Superstars like Bianca Belair, Randy Orton, Seth Rollins and The Bloodline have all been drafted to their respective brands. Things continued through the fourth and final round of picks for the night with a surprise NXT call up with Kiana James to Raw alongside the Alpha Academy while AJ Styles and LA Knight remain on SmackDown.
Knight is perhaps the most surprising Draft announcement of them all, as it appeared like he would be the one to spearhead the Raw men's division as the top babyface. That place was previously held by Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Cody Rhodes who was previously moved to the blue brand. In addition to Knight and Styles, male SmackDown picks from earlier in the night included Orton, The Bloodline as well as Andrade.
Knight has been on a tear on SmackDown as he was most recently in a months long feud with Styles. Knight came out of his first WrestleMania match as the winner though Styles got his revenge on SmackDown, beating him for a #1 Contender's spot at Backlash for Rhodes' title.
