Video: Roman Reigns Involves Cousin Dwayne Johnson Amidst His Leaked Heated Banter With LA Knight Prior to Crown Jewel

Roman Reigns will face LA Knight as his new opponent at Crown Jewel. Like many other opponents before him, Knight will attempt to challenge Reigns for his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship title. But will Knight be the one to end Reigns’ title run and his reign of terror?

That question will be answered at Crown Jewel on November 4th, but before that, the two superstars entered into a heated banter session with each other. A wrestling fan has shared a clip from an unseen promo that involves the two superstars going back and forth.

Roman Reigns taunts LA Knight before leaving for Crown Jewel

One die-hard fan of Roman Reigns tweeted a video clip featuring Roman Reigns. The caption for the tweet read, “Roman went there for next week’s promo 👀.” The video shows a clip from a promo segment between The Tribal Chief and LA Knight from a SmackDown episode.

Interestingly, no one has seen the segment on TV yet. So, where is it from? As we know the WWE roster is flying to Dubai for the Crown Jewel PLE, so they have pre-taped the SmackDown show for this coming Friday.

But, what is the segment about? In the segment, Roman Reigns says, “What have you done around here for the past few months? The only thing you’ve done is get these people to chant your name. And what? Cosplay a redneck version of my cousin?”

Roman Reigns was referring to the past performance of LA Knight in the WWE. While Reigns was away for 2 months, WWE pushed LA Knight to the main event scene. He also called LA Knight a redneck version of his cousin, The Rock. It is a remark often used against LA Knight due to a lot of resemblances.

LA Knight has an uncanny resemblance to The Rock

LA Knight’s persona, starting from his appearance, promo style, and voice is considered extremely similar to The Rock. It is a remark that has also been used by The Miz during their feud in September.

Lending credence to this, LA Knight has even admitted that he was inspired by Stone Cold and The Rock from the Attitude Era. He has also admitted that he has an uncanny resemblance with The Rock for his voice. But Knight has denied copying The Rock by saying, “I am me, I’m me. I am the one, I am the only, I am LA Knight!”
