WWE is offering shocking refunds for Friday Night Smackdown attendees, claim reports. Check reason

WWE has made a shocking decision recently when they announced refunds for attendees of last week's SmackDown event due to the absence of LA Knight from the show, according to reports. Originally, LA Knight was slated to play a pivotal role in the main event segment on the blue brand. His role involved coming to the aid of John Cena during an attack by Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso, the reports claimed.

However, just before the show's commencement, it was disclosed that Knight had tested positive for COVID-19, necessitating his immediate departure from the venue. Additionally, Fightful Select reported the cancellation of a Cena/Knight vs. Street Profits dark match.

Uncharacteristically, WWE publicly informed the fans in attendance that LA Knight would not be making an appearance and offered them refunds, a practice typically reserved for top-tier stars like Roman Reigns or Seth Rollins.


Dave Meltzer, in his Wrestling Observer's Daily Update, reported that WWE had indeed provided ticket refunds after making the announcement about Knight's absence. This gesture highlights the high regard in which WWE currently holds LA Knight, as they rarely announce no-shows unless the wrestler enjoys a status comparable to that of Roman Reigns or Seth Rollins.

Furthermore, WWE took the unusual step of informing media outlets about LA Knight's removal from SmackDown, marking yet another departure from their customary practices. There is no official information available regarding whether this change in approach is related to any policy adjustments following Endeavor's takeover of the company.
