Last week during the SmackDown season Premiere, Roman Reigns [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roman-reigns/] started a feud with LA Knight. Now, a week later, the latter returned to get a piece of The Tribal Chief yet again. Paul Heyman opened up the SmackDown episode for tonight, glorifying Reigns and defaming Knight in the process. However, the blue brand top star quickly appeared to defuse him in front of the audience and call out his current rival. LA KNIGHT CALLS OUT ROMAN REIGNS HOURS AFTER THEIR CROWN JEWEL ANNOUNCEMENT A few hours ago, WWE reiterated the report from the LA Times that LA Knight will attack the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-wwe-breaks-silence-on-roman-reigns-fifth-title-defense-in-two-thousand-twenty-three-at-crown-jewel/] at Crown Jewel 2023 as Reigns defends it. After Heyman made a few comments on how Knight would fail in this task, the wrestler showed up and challenged Reigns to appear in the ring too. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/WhatsApp-Image-2023-08-04-at-21.49.37.jpeg] Standing without any confrontation from The Tribal Chief, the 40-year-old called out Reigns officially for his title. He called the champion to sign the contract for their match next week on SmackDown. He also threatened Reigns while challenging him to appear himself, rather than sending The Bloodline as his pawn. Although we didn’t see the Samoan wrestler appear on SmackDown itself, the announcement confirmed that the two opponents shall come face-to-face next week on SmackDown when it will take place in its new temporary home, FS1. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Untitled-design-2023-10-15T174716.599.jpg] So far, Knight seems confident as ever as his confrontation with the Undisputed Champion moves closer. However, the real question remains, will he be able to best Reigns? CAN ROMAN REIGNS’ NEW OPPONENT BE COUNTED ON? The 38-year-old has been reigning the Universal Championship for over 1,100 days. His run as a WWE champion would probably go down as one of the longest and most influential. In fact, in 2023 itself, Reigns has proven his worthiness by defeating four challengers so far. Despite his scarce appearance in the promotion, he has managed to hold up as a champion.

Since LA Knight is one of the most decorated stars on SmackDown, WWE might pin the match in his favor. Until we witness the Crown Jewel main event, there is no sure way of knowing who will come out on top. Since Cody Rhodes [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/cody-rhodes/] is a star who is expected to have his full circle moment in 2024 by defeating Reigns, LA Knight’s victory seems unlikely.

After last week's face off, Roman Reigns gets challenged to sign Crown Jewel
contract the coming week on SmackDown by LA Knight.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Roman Reigns: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and More</strong></h2>
Roman Reigns is one of the biggest faces to emerge from WWE in the past few years. H<span style="font-weight: 400">e is the current and the longest reigning Undisputed WWE Universal champion and is notorious for leading one of wrestling's most storied families called The Bloodline. </span>Despite receiving mixed fan reviews, the wrestler is considered a favorite of Vince McMahon. As a result, he is one of the most heavily pushed stars in the company. Roman has wrestling running in his family, with his father Sika Anoa'i, and late brother Rosey being former wrestlers. His cousins Umaga, Yokozuna, Rikishi, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/the-rock/">Dwayne Johnson</a> were all prominent wrestlers in the company.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Roman Reignsâ€™ Early Life</strong></h2>
Roman Reigns, whose actual name is Leati Joseph Anoa'i, was born on May 25, 1985, in Pensacola, Florida to Leati â€˜Sikaâ€™ AnoaÊ»i and Patricia Anoa'i. Reigns' father lived in the Leone village of American Samoa before moving to San Fransisco, California while his mother hails from Italy. He has three sisters named Vanessa, Myritza, and Summer while his elder brother Matthew Tapunu'u AnoaÊ»i aka Rosey died in April 2017.

Speaking of his education, the wrestler went to Pensacola Catholic High School followed by Escambia High School. He also studied at the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2007.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Roman Reignsâ€™ wife and children</strong></h2>
Roman Reigns has been happily married to Galina Becker since 2014 and they are proud parents of five children. The couple met each other in 2007 at the Georgia Institute of Technology and have been going strong since then. Reigns and Becker welcomed their daughter Joelle in December 2007 and they became parents to twin sons in 2016. In 2020, Galina gave birth to another set of twins.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Roman Reigns Net Worth 2024</strong></h2>
Reigns is one of the highest-paid wrestlers in WWE. According to Sports World News, the Samoan superstar has a net worth of $20 million.Â  His salary with the WWE touches $5 million annually. However, after additional perks and bonuses, it goes up quite a lot. This is not his only source of income, as he also acts in movies and has cash-rich endorsements.

Reigns earns a good amount of money by selling merchandise while he has also enjoyed endorsement deals with big brands like Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and Nike.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Roman Reignsâ€™ Career Timeline</strong></h2>
Roman didn't immediately take a liking to professional wrestling. Formerly, he was a professional football player, representing Minnesota Vikings and Jacksonville Jaguars in the National Football League in 2007. Notably, the Pensacola native was <span style="font-weight: 400">released by both football teams without having played in any regular season games.Â </span>

He later moved to professional wrestling in July 2010. Roman debuted as Roman Leakee in Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), but the Superstar would make his main roster debut in the year 2012 as a part of The Shield, one of the most successful stables in the company's history. After the group split in 2014, Roman was quickly pushed as the face of the company and as a successor to John Cena.

However, his momentum got an enormous setback when the WWE star was diagnosed with Leukemia in the year 2018. His champion spirit would push him to make a comeback which has led him to his current status in the company. Reigns returned to WWE at SummerSlam 2020, months after preferring to stay out of in-ring action due to safety concerns during the pandemic. He introduced his heel character for the first time and received a huge reception from virtual fans.

'The Big Dog' went on to capture the WWE Universal Championship as he defeated The Fiend and Braun Strowman at Payback. Reigns then went on to have a rivalry with Jay USO. At Hell in a Cell, Reigns defeated Jey in an 'I Quit' match, and following that Jey was ordered to address Roman as 'The Tribal Chief.'

Following that at Survivor Series Reigns defeated Raw Champion Drew McIntyre in a Champion vs Champion match. Following that, Reigns was involved in a feud with Kevin Owens. He faced and defeated Owens at TLC 2020 and the Royal Rumble 2021. 'The Trible Chief' had a rivalry with Daniel Bryan, whom he defeated twice at the Elimination Chamber and Fastlane. Reigns faced Bryan and Edge (Who had won the 2021 Royal Rumble Match) at WrestleMania, and he successfully defended the title at the event.

Reigns then faced the returning Edge at the Money in the Bank event and again retained his title. Following that, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/john-cena">John Cena</a> challenged Reigns to a match at SummerSlam and after a bit of delay, he accepted the match and defeated Cena at SummerSlam. Apart from defeating Finn Balor at Extreme Rules, 'The Tribal Chief' also fought against Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel and, with the help of the Usos, defended his title.

His cousins Umaga, Yokozuna, Rikishi, and Dwayne Johnson were all prominent wrestlers in the company. Roman Reignsâ€™ Early Life Roman Reigns, whose actual name is Leati Joseph Anoa&#8217;i, was born on May 25, 1985, in Pensacola, Florida to Leati â€˜Sikaâ€™ AnoaÊ»i and Patricia Anoa&#8217;i. Reigns&#8217; father lived in the Leone village of American Samoa before moving to San Fransisco, California while his mother hails from Italy.
