New Talent Joins Knight Model Management In WWE SmackDown Dark Segment

A new talent joined Knight Model Management in a dark segment at Friday's SmackDown taping from Albany, New York. 

Former Million Dollar Champion LA Knight first appeared on SmackDown in a dark segment on April 15, during which the NXT talent revealed he had founded Knight Model Management. He then introduced Mace as his first client before the Raw commentator defeated  Erik of The Viking Raiders in a dark match. 

Knight appeared in another dark segment on Friday and introduced Mansoor as the latest addition to his stable. The former IMPACT World Champion also revealed KMM was a faction he started because he saved his money within the industry like a wise man. 

Mace also seemingly has a new, elongated name, being introduced as 'Mace The Face.'

Mansoor was regularly booked on WWE TV in 2021 but he has only been sporadically used this year, having only appeared on SmackDown twice, most recently in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal ahead of WrestleMania 38.

Knight has been under contract with WWE since rejoining the company in February of 2021. He has spent the majority of his time on NXT but he previously defeated Cedric Alexander on a January 2022 episode of Main Event. He also appeared in a backstage segment with Dolph Ziggler on Monday Night Raw earlier this year.
