Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. LA Knight

Published Oct. 20, 2023 11:04 a.m. ET

At WWE Crown Jewel, Roman Reigns will go one-on-one with LA Knight for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. The news was first reported by the LA Times. On the Season Premiere of Friday Night SmackDown, The Greatest of All Time himself, John Cena, brought Knight face-to-face with Reigns, and the would-be challenger didn't flitch for a second before knocking a disruptive Jimmy Uso clean out of the ring. Later that evening, Knight defeated Solo Sikoa one-on-one, only to suffer an earth-shattering Spear by The Head of The Table. One of the most dominant World Champions of all time, Reigns is enjoying a legendary title reign that stands at well over 1,000 days, winning epic battles against Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, Drew McIntyre and many more. As he presides over The Bloodline with an iron fist on The Island of Relevancy, The Head of the Table stands armed with a brutal arsenal and seems unstoppable.  But "let me talk to ya!" LA Knight's charisma has helped make him the fastest-rising star in SmackDown history. While his ever-growing popularity may seem unimportant once the bell rings, Knight has fed off the power of the WWE Universe before, and he seems capable of turning that mighty force against The Head of the Table. He also carries an unwavering confidence, an extremely hard-hitting style and an unpredictable attack. Together, these factors arguably make him one of the most unique threats that the elite titleholder has faced in some time. "Yeah!" Don’t miss all the incredible action at WWE Crown Jewel, streaming LIVE from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday, Nov. 4, at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT, exclusively on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else.
