Roman Reigns vs. LA Knight for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship is all but confirmed for Crown Jewel 2023. The two will likely main event the premium live event in Riyadh following their confrontation on SmackDown.
The Megastar emerged as The Tribal Chief's next challenger after being introduced by John Cena, who gladly stepped aside for him. The 16-time world champion claimed he hadn't earned a title shot against Reigns, but Knight had.
Cena is set to be at Crown Jewel 2023, the last of his scheduled appearances in WWE during this current run. Given Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa's pursuit of Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso's Tag Team Titles, The Cenation Leader doesn't have an obvious opponent locked in for the event.
Is this man the funniest man in wrestling?
However, as a result, he could land one final blow to The Bloodline in the main event of Crown Jewel 2023. John Cena can ensure Roman Reigns does not win unfairly by blocking interference from Sikoa and Uso before helping LA Knight defeat The Tribal Chief.
As exciting as it sounds, the Hollywood star likely won't raise Knight's hand in victory at the end of Crown Jewel 2023. The Megastar may not even win the title, with management firmly behind Reigns continuing to break all sorts of records as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes could face off at some point after WWE Crown Jewel 2023
The main reason why John Cena and LA Knight won't be involved in the end of The Tribal Chief's title reign is that the spot rightfully belongs to someone else. Through their intense face-off on SmackDown, WWE blatantly told the world that Cody Rhodes is gunning for a rematch against Roman Reigns at some point.
That story might ultimately lead to Rhodes winning the 2024 Royal Rumble Match, so he is allowed to move to SmackDown and challenge Reigns at WrestleMania 40. This time around, the former AEW star must win the title and finish his story.
