Roman Reigns issues statement for LA Knight and others following WWE Clash in Italy
Roman Reigns is aware of the WWE environment following his Clash in Italy win over Jacob Fatu, and had a message for the roster post the Premium Live Event.
Following his Tribal Combat match win, Reigns was asked about his next move. He acknowledged the chatter in the air about potential challengers in LA Knight and Royce Keys among others. And proceeded to trash talk the roster with The Bloodline regaining supremacy again.
“I don’t think it really matters what it means for me. What’s it mean for everybody else? I can hear the chattering – LA Knight, Royce Keys, and this goes for any of you chumps back there. You want to run your mouth about The Tribal Chief, you want to run your mouth about my family, you’re terrified about this Bloodline ain’t you? You already seen what’s happening behind me. I’m been the general, I’m been had an army. I’m trying to do it the right way. I’m trying to shine a light on my legacy in a positive manner but you’ll are forcing my hand. Keep on trying me. I’ll run it all forever.”
Knight was one of the many eager challengers who stepped up to face Reigns during his lengthy Universal Title reign. They squared off at Crown Jewel 2023. It was during this time, main roster audiences started advocating for his push to win the Money in the Bank and the World Heavyweight Championship. However, in the last three years, Knight has ended up on the fringe of the main event scene.
Knight is aware of his positioning in the company and has addressed the frustrations. He has been involved in key storylines over the past few years and has been barely inches away from high-profile wins on multiple occasions. His last match was a six-man tag team bout with The Usos against The Vision at WrestleMania 42. Since then, Knight has yet to enter a marquee program.
