As WWE’s Crown Jewel event approaches, anticipation is reaching a fever pitch among fans, with Roman Reigns defending his Universal Championship against LA Knight. While the odds may seem stacked against Knight, wrestling enthusiasts are always ready for the unexpected, and a return at Crown Jewel is now fueling speculation.
The prevailing belief among WWE viewers is that LA Knight might not emerge from Saudi Arabia as the new face of the company. Roman Reigns, who has established himself as an almost invincible force, especially in recent times, appears to be a formidable obstacle in Knight’s path. However, there’s a glimmer of hope on the horizon, albeit a few months away.
With WrestleMania 38 slated for 2024, there are two major premium live events on the horizon: the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber. The latter holds a special distinction, as it will be hosted in Australia for the first time. It’s challenging to imagine the top champion’s absence from these events, and this is where the intrigue lies.
