LA Knight worked a dark match prior to WWE Friday Night SmackDown as a manager.

Knight managed former Retribution member Mace and cut a promo for him revealing he is establishing a new stable called Knight Model Management.

Mace has not been involved in a WWE match since November 2021 so this appears to be a repacking of the former Retribution member.

The managerial role is reportedly what Vince McMahon originally wanted for Adam Cole.
