AEW Star Says LA Knight Should Dethrone Roman Reigns

WWE

Roman Reigns’ next defence of the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship was officially announced on Friday, with Roman set to defend the title against LA Knight at WWE Crown Jewel on November 4.

With many fans expecting Cody Rhodes to be the one to finish his story in the main event of WrestleMania 40, one AEW star believes that WWE should strike while the iron is hot on Knight.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, former AEW Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa discussed the match, saying that WWE should pull the trigger on Knight beating Roman in Saudi Arabia on November 4.

She said:

“Who will be the next that can be over as hell that can take that title, and take it to the next level? At this moment right now, on Friday, it’s LA Knight. They didn’t push him, they didn’t shove him [down] our throats, it was natural.

“The guy is hot with the fans. Everybody’s like, ‘Yeah! Yeah!’ and everywhere you go — that’s the kind of thing that makes a superstar a superstar. He’s a superstar.”

“I think they’re taking too long with the ‘finish the story,'” Rosa added. “I was kinda upset that he didn’t get the title [at WrestleMania 39] because he was hot at the time. I bet they were not expecting this, either, with LA Knight. They were not expecting him to get how hot he is at this point.”
