Roman Reigns walked out of Mexico City with his WWE World Heavyweight title still around his waist, but his night was far from over. After surviving a tough title defense against Penta, the OTC was confronted by none other than the Megastar, LA Knight.
Knight appeared after the show went off the air and set the stage for the title match against Reigns at MITB.
LA Knight attacks Roman Reigns after RAW
Reigns had just retained his title against Penta in the main event of the Sept. 14 episode of RAW when LA Knight appeared in the arena. The Megastar wasted little time confronting the champion, and things quickly turned physical.
As Reigns grabbed the microphone to say something, Knight hit him with his BFT, leaving the Champion down in the ring. He then picked up the championship and held it in Reigns’ face while continuing his trash talk.
Reigns eventually recovered and started making his way toward the back. However, before leaving the arena, he made it clear that Knight’s attack would have consequences.
The OTC confirmed that he will face Knight at WWE Money in the Bank in October.
“This is what I’m talking about. I’m sick and tired of it. All these beggars. You want it? If he wants it, he can get it. Money in the Bank. New Orleans. Down South. I’m gonna whoop his b*tch a**,” Reigns said.
The statement sets up another major chapter in the long-running rivalry between two of WWE’s biggest crowd favorites.
Roman Reigns and Knight have a lot of history dating back to 2023, when Knight became one of WWE’s fastest-rising stars on SmackDown. The two faced each other at Crown Jewel 2023. Knight came close to pulling off the upset but ultimately lost after members of The Bloodline interfered.
They also crossed paths in the Fatal 4-Way match at Royal Rumble 2024 alongside Randy Orton and AJ Styles. Reigns once again walked away with the championship.
Their latest feud has much higher stakes, amid the ongoing tensions between The Bloodline, 946, and the duo of Knight and Solo Sikoa.
Money in the Bank will take place live from the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, on Saturday, October 10.
