WWE fans received thrilling news from ‘The Wiseman’ Paul Heyman at the outset of SmackDown. Heyman revealed that Roman Reigns would be defending his coveted WWE Universal title against LA Knight in Saudi Arabia at WWE’s Crown Jewel event. This announcement has sent fans into a frenzy of anticipation, with many eager to witness the rise of LA Knight as the new Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
The exciting revelation prompted immediate reactions from fans, who can hardly contain their excitement as they await the showdown between LA Knight and The Tribal Chief in Saudi Arabia. With just two weeks left until Crown Jewel, Knight is gearing up for one of the most significant matches of his career.
LA Knight’s Grand Challenge to Roman Reigns
The clash between LA Knight and Roman Reigns was set in motion when Reigns made his WWE return last week during the SmackDown season premiere. Immediately upon his return, he found himself face-to-face with a determined LA Knight, who had his sights firmly set on capturing the WWE Universal Championship.
Adding to the drama, Reigns expressed his displeasure at his cousin Jey Uso’s partnership with his arch-nemesis, Cody Rhodes, as the tag team champions. He assigned the task of reclaiming the tag team titles to Jimmy Uso. As Jimmy Uso left the room, he playfully exclaimed “Yeet,” a term often used by The Usos during their tag team days. To Reigns’ chagrin, this seemingly innocent word hit a nerve.

Knight Seizes the Moment to Rile Roman Reigns
LA Knight, evidently an astute observer, seized the opportunity to playfully taunt Roman Reigns and the WWE Universe. After SmackDown concluded, during the match between Jey Uso and Drew McIntyre, Jimmy Uso attempted to intervene and exact revenge on Jey Uso for an earlier attack. LA Knight came to Jey Uso’s aid, delivering a brutal BFT (Blunt Force Trauma) to Jimmy Uso and ejecting him from the ring.
With the crowd firmly behind him, Knight orchestrated a chant of “Yeet” throughout the Frost Bank Center, a move designed to provoke Reigns, who had expressed his aversion to the term earlier in the night.
