LA Knight’s New Tag Team Partner Revealed?

WWE

Last night’s episode of SmackDown was the first episode of the show with the rosters in effect following the 2023 WWE Draft.

The show saw many of the new debuts from newly called up NXT stars, but one name who was missing from the show was the ever popular LA Knight.

However, though Knight did not appear on SmackDown himself, he did make an appearance on the SmackDown LowDown.

On the show, Megan Morant was interviewing new SmackDown draftees the Street Profits, only to be interrupted by LA Knight, who ran down the former Champions.

Knight then challenged the Street Profits to a match, saying he could beat them teaming with anyone, before he called over Rick Boogs, saying that he and Boogs would beat the Profits.

The episode also saw Zelina Vega and AJ Styles discussing the events from last night’s show.
