Roman Reigns reacts to LA Knight match announcement
The last time Roman Reigns defended his Undisputed Universal Championship was at SummerSlam against Jey Uso well over 2 months ago. While there have been complaints that he has not been a fighting champion, his bouts are definitely iconic. The WWE Universe was wondering who’ll be the next in line for a title shot and their prayers have been answered with the crowd favorite LA Knight being announced as his next opponent.
It was clear that WWE was moving forward with this match-up after John Cena and LA Knight defeated Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso at Fastlane. Roman and LA Knight finally interacted last week on SmackDown and it was much more glorious than what the fans expected. The two of the most popular superstars in the company are set to battle at Crown Jewel which is sure to be a spectacle. The Head of the Table recently reacted to the match announcement, taking credit for his superstardom.
LA Knight sends blunt message to Reigns
Paul Heyman opened the latest episode of SmackDown and fired shots at LA Knight following the announcement of the match at Crown Jewel before being interrupted by him. It was a very memorable segment as two of the best to ever hold the mic went face-to-face. LA Knight warned Paul Heyman that he was nothing like anyone The Tribal Chief had faced before and made sure to let him know that he was coming for the Undisputed Universal Championship.
It was announced that a contract signing would take place next week with Roman Reigns and LA Knight set to go face-to-face again. After a dark match involving Jey Uso, he cut another promo having fun with Jey and using their catchphrases “Yeet!” and “Yeah!”. He also doubled down on the warnings he made earlier in the night.
As the two mammoths are set to face each other at Crown Jewel, will WWE unexpectedly pull the trigger and have LA Knight win the Undisputed Universal Championship? Feel free to share your opinions in the comments.
