A spellbinding Roman Reigns vs LA Knight awaits the fans at Crown Jewel this weekend from Mohamed Abdo Theater, Riyadh. The Megastar has already enjoyed a meteoric rise in the business lately. That said, he’s still heading to the showdown as a clear underdog against the dominant champion, Roman Reigns.

The Tribal Chief’s historic title reign has earned him the undefeated tag. Despite Knight tormenting him on live TV, building up the heat for the upcoming brawl, he, too, is pretty aware of how much weight he carries to the ring. But Knight is not halting nevertheless, looking back at his staggering present position in the division.

The Saudi Arabia event promises to deliver a stunning event consisting of a stacked-up match card. Among all other spectacular matches, LA Knight going after the coveted Undisputed Universal WWE Champion belt of Reigns has garnered the most attention. For the past three years, no one could get away with challenging Reigns’ crown. But now, with fans vehemently being behind the Uber-popular Knight and his unbelievable rise, it seems like attaining the gold isn’t a far-fetched idea for him.

Adding to that notion, the 41-year-old noted, ”It ain’t going to be easy. It’s going to be an uphill climb. It’s going to be an uphill battle… But If you look at how quickly everything has moved and how forcefully I have moved my agenda forward, I don’t know how to stop this. I can’t stop this gravy train, I can’t stop the undeniable Caborca. You’re feeling it right now. And I can’t stop being LA Knight. And what that means is very soon in the very short future you will see me carrying gold all right.”

However, there are some pointers as to which WWE handing Knight the top prize might look justified.

WWE already dismissed an array of stars’ chances on Reigns’ world title and there are not many left to refer to next. Also, given Knight’s full-time status, it would be easier for him to do justice to the title.

The bigwigs like John Cena, Cody Rhodes, Drew Mclntyre, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Finn Balor, and a lot more have been sent home by the Tribal Chief so far. So, if WWE really makes Knight end the mammoth 1140-day title run of Reigns, it would be a predictive surprise as Knight is a newbie to the main event scene despite fans cheering him to dethrone The Guy.
