LA Knight and Solo Sikoa's paths have crossed in WWE SmackDown as part of the former's feud with Roman Reigns. However, this was not the first time that both the stars had encountered each other.
Solo Sikoa attacked Grayson Waller on his NXT debut on October 26, 2021, at that year's Halloween Havoc event. During the segment, Grayson was arguing with his fellow host of the show, LA Knight. After the Australian star introduced the then-new signee, Knight pushed his co-host toward The Bloodline member, who punched him and threw him outside of the ring. Interestingly, all three men are now on WWE SmackDown.
Sikoa debuted on the main roster in September 2022 when he helped Roman Reigns triumph over Drew McIntyre at Clash at the Castle. He has since been a vital member of The Bloodline.
Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?
On the other hand, Grayson and Knight are also on the same brand. The Megastar debuted on the main roster as Max Dupri in 2022 and joined the Maximum Male Models but reverted to being LA Knight. Waller debuted in May 2023 and is currently allied with Austin Theory.
Will LA Knight dethrone Roman Reigns at WWE Crown Jewel 2023?
Roman has defeated the likes of Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, and many more to keep his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Despite the major hype surrounding Knight, Vince Russo believes he won't be able to dethrone The Tribal Chief.
While speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, the wrestling veteran shared that the Stamford-based promotion might book LA Knight to lose since he would remain over with the fans despite losing to Reigns. Russo said that this was a "BS mentality" and believed that if he lost, he would fall back down, just like what happened to Ricochet.
Which WWE SmackDown star could face Solo Sikoa at Crown Jewel 2023?
As mentioned above, Knight is currently occupied with his new rival, Roman Reigns. On the other hand, Sikoa and Waller currently have no feuds or matches lined up for Crown Jewel. However, this might change soon.
Solo Sikoa won't be renewing his rivalry with Grayson in WWE just yet. However, reports suggest that The Enforcer could face John Cena at Crown Jewel 2023. The latter has been involved with The Bloodline for weeks during Roman's absence and has mainly faced Solo and Jimmy Uso.
It remains to be seen what will be the fate of LA Knight and Solo Sikoa at the upcoming Saudi Arabia premium live event.
