Roman Reigns Has One Thing To Prove Against LA Knight At WWE Money In The Bank
Roman Reigns defends the World Heavyweight Championship against LA Knight at WWE Money in the Bank on Oct. 10 at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.
Reigns needs to beat Knight clean in New Orleans. No Bloodline run-in, no referee distraction, and no shortcut. Knight built the challenge on one accusation, that the champion cannot win without help. The Megastar has done the talking since SummerSlam, and the champion has to respond with action. The answer has to come in the middle of the ring, one on one.
Crown Jewel 2023 still hangs over the matchup. Jimmy Uso’s interference handed Reigns that win. Knight never got a straight answer, and the Megastar said as much on the Sept. 21 Raw. A Superman Punch and a Spear with nobody else involved gives him one. Knight needs a loss with no asterisk, and the Tribal Chief needs a win with no help.
A clean win helps the Megastar too. Losing straight up to the Tribal Chief is no disgrace, and it ends the excuse for good. A rematch would have nothing left to sell. Reigns has already won the Royal Rumble and beaten Punk at WrestleMania in 2026. Walking out of the Smoothie King Center with the title and the argument settled caps the year.
