Roman Reigns’ next challenger for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship has been announced.
On November 4th at Crown Jewel, The Tribal Chief will put the title on the line against LA Knight. The match was made official on the company’s social media page on October 20th.
This will be Knight’s first shot at a top championship on the main roster and his biggest match to date. With the competitors involved in the match and the high stakes, it is very likely that this will be the main event of WWE Crown Jewel.
As seen at Fastlane, Knight teamed with John Cena to defeat the team of Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso. On the next episode of SmackDown on October 13th, Reigns returned to the blue brand and interrupted Cena, presuming that the 16-time World Champion wanted another shot at the title. Cena instead introduced Knight, who declared that he was next in line. Following Knight being victorious over Sikoa on SmackDown, Reigns delivered a devastating spear to The Megastar.
Will Roman Reigns Continue To Reign Or Will It Be LA Knight’s Night?
Knight will be the 18th Superstar attempting to achieve the mammoth task of dethroning The Tribal Chief, attempting to do what Cody Rhodes, Brock Lesnar and many others have failed to do.
Three matches have now been confirmed for Crown Jewel. Along with Reigns vs. Knight, Seth Rollins is set to defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre in a rematch from over years ago. Additionally, Rhea Ripley will defend the Women’s Championship in a Fatal 5-Way match.
In the latest announcement, John Cena has been confirmed to compete at Crown Jewel.
