John Cena or LA Knight, Who Is Likely to Face Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel?

Tonight’s premium live event of Fastlane was indeed a hair-raising trip for all the WWE faithful who tuned in throughout the show. Being the center stage for the main event clash between Seth Rollins and Shinsuke Nakamura, this event also had other captivating matches, especially John Cena and LA Knight vs. The Bloodline.

Since it is still unknown, what would be the story of both Knight and Cena after Fastlane? It is also to be noted that Roman Reigns is going to appear on the very next episode of SmackDown. Thus, the next episode of blue brand would surely be under the microscope, considering Reigns’ return and the presence of LA Knight and John Cena next week. In fact, both Cena and Knight would be willing as a whistle, to be part of Reigns’ upcoming storyline. Thus, the next opponent for The Head of the Table after SummerSlam becomes important to discuss. So let’s dig deep into the discussion.

Why Cena could be considered the next opponent for Roman Reigns?

After transitioning into a Hollywood superstar, John Cena has been on and off the squared circle for a very long time. However, his current run in the WWE has been comparably longer than the previous ones in the past few years. While some say it is because of his love for the sport, which keeps him intact time and again, others consider the SAG-AFTRA strike to be the prime reason for his return.

Since there is still plenty of time left for The Leader of the Cenation’s current run, one can predict that he might be heading towards Saudi Arabia for a big contest. And when we think of a big contest, his storyline with Reigns could hit our minds and be continued after Fastlane. Moreover, according to the claims of the company, hailing Cena as a GOAT could be the root cause of handing him a shot for his 17th world title.

However, his feud with the Roman Reigns could be in doubt. Why? Because of the recent claims by John Cena concerning his daily grind, which is Hollywood. But what did he actually claim?

Hollywood commitments might hinder Cena’s meeting with Roman Reigns

No matter how much we predict or speculate about the future of Cena in the company, the reality is that his primary domain is certainly the movies. Similar to Dwayne Johnson, Cena has established himself as an integral part of Hollywood, and his unavailability for a long storyline might make things quite apparent in the eyes of many. Cena, who won the tag team match at Fastlane, later revealed something that might hurt those who want to watch their hero be part of another enthralling storyline.

He said, “Yes, I stopped a project in the middle of it; I can’t even talk about the project because of the strike, but we’re in the middle of it.” He continued, “As soon as we get back to work, we go back to work. I don’t control any of that. I’m crossing my fingers, and I hope we can find a resolve everyone is happy with. For right now, I feel this is the best way I can help. To come back home to my family.”

Apparently, Cena knows that sooner or later he has to get back to being part of those impending movie projects because of the recent strike. The 46-year-old is expecting a call back any time soon, and he is ready for that. In fact, the release of his upcoming movies, Freelance and Argylle, is on the horizon. This might be the prime reason that WWE wouldn’t want Cena to indulge in a feud with Roman Reigns for Crown Jewel; in fact, they could consider Solo Sikoa next in line for Cena. Since no one can be certain about the future, it will be interesting to see what goes on in the next episode of SmackDown.

LA Knight might be the next contender for Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel

Now shifting our focus from Cena, the guy who was his tag team partner at Fastlane is also one of the names in contention to face Reigns. LA Knight has evidently raised the bar due to his in-ring charisma and his prowess behind the mic. Being one of the most popular wrestlers in recent times, Knight might be considered the next foe for The Trible Chief. Being a regular star and getting involved with The Bloodline, he might run into Roman Reigns soon, and to make that happen, Crown Jewel could be the perfect place.

Indeed, the fact is not hidden: the entire WWE universe wants to see LA Knight get a shot at the title. Thus, it might compel WWE to take this into consideration. Interestingly, Knight has never won a major title in his WWE career, but all because of his charm, he has accumulated so much popularity, which might catapult him to the frontlines.

All in all, in comparison to Cena, Knight has more chances to have a prospective tussle with Reigns, which might be the center stage of the premium live event, Crown Jewel.
