Top WWE Star "SICK" Of Roman Reigns' Tyrannical Title Run
Roman Reigns defends his Undisputed Universal Title for the 5th time in 2023 this weekend.
LA Knight has cut a typically excellent promo on WWE's The Bump, hyping his upcoming WWE match with Undisputed Universal Champion Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel 2023 (4 November).
Roman's perceived inactivity as WWE's top champion was the crux of Knight's diatribe. The challenge ranted that although Reigns is closing in on 1,200 days with gold, this is undermined by his lack of defences.
Said Knight (h/t Fightful):
“I’m gonna tell you my assessment. My assessment is everybody’s sick of that. Here’s a guy, he’s got about one title defense every three, four months? Four defenses a year, and we’re celebrating the fact that he’s been champion for 1,200 days? You got to be kidding me."
Knight will become Reigns' fifth defence of 2023 when they face in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia this Saturday. The Undisputed WWE Universal Champion last defended his dual belts against Jey Uso at SummerSlam 2023 on 5 August.
Continuing, Knight went all-in on kayfabe:
“1,200 days, as impressive as that is, can come to a real quick halt when you find yourself on the business end of a BFT, and that’s what I think we’re gonna find at Crown Jewel. But look, you talk about the tyranny of this. This revolution is gonna walk in and release everybody from that tyranny with a new WWE Champion.”
Knight, 41, will contest his first ever WWE world championship match at Crown Jewel.
