Reigns is one of the top guys in WWE right now and nobody can deny that. He has worked incredibly hard to build his empire and The Bloodline. Achieving a title reign that has lasted more than three and a half years is no child’s play. Therefore, there is no chance anybody can doubt his dominance in the company.

But Knight was not all praise for Reigns. Along with some acknowledgment, he also served some hot insults on the plate to ‘The Head of the Table’.

While Knight had some good things to say about Reigns, he also slipped some insults during his conversation with Kayla Braxton. He said that although he acknowledged and respected Reigns’ professional career, he also knows how he works in the promotion.

Reigns has used his family’s help to retain his championship for this long. Referencing this, the former Million Dollar Champion implied he hides behind his family and can’t do anything on his own. This was a brutal shot at the champ, and he might not take it well.
