WWE has now officially announced the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship match set for Crown Jewel 2023.
Reigns will next defend his gold at the November 4 premium live event, three months on from his last title defence.
WWE has now confirmed that Reigns will put his title on the line against LA Knight.
Sharing an official graphic for the highly anticipated match, WWE tweeted:

Knight was presented as a potential challenger for Reigns’ gold on the October 13 edition of SmackDown, during which Cena introduced Knight as someone who deserves a title shot.
The popular star defeated Solo Sikoa in the main event of that episode, becoming the first star to pin Sikoa in singles action since Cody Rhodes in March.
Other matches announced for the card include a World Heavyweight Title bout, with Seth Rollins slated to defend his championship against Drew McIntyre.
Rhea Ripley will put her Women’s World Championship on the line in a fiveway bout, with Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler, Zoey Stark and Raquel Rodriguez all after Ripley’s gold.
