4 possible stipulations for Roman Reigns and LA Knight at Crown Jewel 2023

On this week's SmackDown, Roman Reigns made his first appearance after over a two month hiatus. The Undisputed WWE Universal Champion interrupted John Cena on his return, and seemed to detail why the 16-time World Champion can't challenge for his belt.

Upon hearing this, Cena told Reigns he wouldn't challenge for his title, as he hadn't earned it. However, Cena mentioned he knew someone who could, which led to LA Knight's arrival. While Reigns did not seem interested in accepting the challenge from The Megastar, it seems this is the match in the pipeline for Crown Jewel 2023.

In this article, here is a look at four possible stipulations that could be added to Roman Reigns' match against LA Knight at the premium live event in Saudi Arabia:

#4. Roman Reigns could face LA Knight in a No Disqualification Match

While Roman Reigns has cemented his legacy with a reign that has lasted over 1100 days, his using unfair means to retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship has been his biggest criticism. However, Reigns does not seem to care about this.

Hence, at Crown Jewel 2023, it won't be a surprise to see Reigns ask for a No Disqualification Match. Not only would this allow The Tribal Chief to use weapons, but it would also enable stablemates like Solo Sikoa and Paul Heyman to interfere and help Reigns win.

#3. Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Match

When WWE returns to Saudi Arabia on November 4, 2023, the Stamford-based promotion will have a card stacked with some brilliant matches. Therefore, the promotion would look to go the extra mile when booking Roman Reigns, given he is the face of their company.

If the promotion wants to make Reigns' match against Knight standout, and main event worthy, booking a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Match wouldn't hurt. It would ensure sufficient action in the match, which would not only entertain those in Saudi but also people turning in on their TV sets.

#2. Falls Count Anywhere Match

Before going on a 2-month hiatus, Roman Reigns faced Jey Uso in a Tribal Combat bout at SummerSlam 2023. While the match included several spots and interesting moments, both superstars drew the most reactions when they took the action to the middle of the crowd.

This could be one reason why the potential match between Roman Reigns and LA Knight could be a Falls Count Anywhere Match. Along with using weapons during the contest, both superstars will have the ability to take the match wherever they desire. This also fits with WWE's booking of several Falls Count Anywhere matches in recent times.

#1. Steel Cage Match

As mentioned previously, almost every single Roman Reigns title defense in recent times has been marred with him seeking help from his stablemates. This is a major reason why Cody Rhodes couldn't finish the story at WrestleMania 39. Hence, LA Knight will have to take serious steps to ensure the same does not happen to him.

The 40-year-old superstar can ensure the same by doing his best to book a Steel Cage Match. While that also might not ensure any interference from Reigns's side, it would still be a safer option compared to other match types. It will be interesting to see which stipulation WWE will go ahead with for this potential match.
