WWE Money In The Bank 2026: 9 Things That NEED To Happen
4. Roman Reigns Appears To Set Up Sami Zayn Showdown...
Members of the LA Knight fan club can address all hate mail to whatelsewereyouexpecting@letsbereal.com. It'd be one of the biggest shocks of the century if Knight pinned Roman Reigns to win the World Heavyweight Title at Money In The Bank. This week's episode of Raw didn't exactly do much to inspire confidence that WWE's writers view his challenge as anything more than a side quest for the 'OTC'.
Reigns spent more time chastising The Usos for what happened to Jacob Fatu courtesy of The 946 than he did worrying about the thought of LA coming for his gold on the next PLE. That spoke volumes. Roman isn't sweating Knight on television because there's really no reason to. This might as well be a main event on the house show loops.
Sorry if that sounds too harsh or cutting.
This fan likes LA, he really does, but he simply doesn't believe that WWE will ever come through for him at a main event level. Certainly not at the expense of someone like Reigns, and not when there's an easy 'Champ vs. Champ' match between Roman and Sami Zayn they can briefly tease for Crown Jewel over in Saudi Arabia next month.
No, that hasn't been confirmed or anything, but it would be logical to at least imply it onscreen. If they are going 'Champion vs. Champion', then Reigns vs. Sami is a bigger deal than Knight vs. Zayn anyway. Hold that thought. A win here, possibly with a good few bells and whistles to shield LA somewhat, could be on the cards.
It just doesn't look like it's ever going to happen for Knight.
