Outside of being on the NXT Takeover pre-show tonight, it is unclear when we will see Knight next on NXT. With him appearing tonight there is a good chance we see him this coming Wednesday on the USA Network.
If we hear anything about Eli Drake, now LA Knight signing with WWE, we will have it here and on the PWUnlimited YouTube Channel.
