Could WWE's LA Knight shock the world and take the World Heavyweight Championship from Roman Reigns at Money in the Bank next month? Don't entirely rule it out...

Speaking on the latest Self Made Sessions, Self Made Pro said that there has been internal talk of having the OTC lose the World Heavyweight Title at some point between now and Survivor Series, and that LA Knight is the person most likely to take that title from Roman should WWE decide to go in that direction.

A Reigns title loss would be done as a way to get him involved in a WarGames match at Survivor Series in November. As Self Made Pro detailed, one idea being talked about is that Solo Sikoa would cost Roman the World Heavyweight Championship. Given how the Tribal Chief has positioned himself above what's been happening recently involving Solo, 946, and the rest of the Bloodline, Sikoa playing a role in costing Roman his title would be one way to pull him deeper into this story ahead of WarGames.

Again, it should be reiterated that this is just one idea that's been talked about, and nothing is set in stone right now. But if WWE did opt to go through with something like this for WarGames, it would seemingly be LA Knight who'd be the one to take the World Heavyweight Championship from Roman Reigns.

As confirmed on this week's Raw, Roman Reigns will defend his World Heavyweight Title against LA Knight at Money in the Bank on October 10th. This year's Survivor Series will take place on November 28th.
