Roman Reigns and LA Knight will sign the contract for their match at Crown Jewel on next week’s episode of WWE SmackDown.
During the opening segment of Friday night’s SmackDown, Knight came down to the ring and confronted Paul Heyman after Reigns speared him out last Friday.
Below is an excerpt from Roy Nemer’s WWE SmackDown recap of the verbal exchange.
LA Knight says word on the street is that Heyman said the spear last week was a warning shot. He says he doesn’t do warning shots, if you want to take a shot at him, you better put him down for good. He will pull a Michael Meyers and get right back up and he will not stop until he owns Roman Reigns and the Championship.
He tells Heyman if Roman is scared, to tell him and that he should be. As fast as he has risen is as fast as he will take the WWE title off him. He tells him that when he speaks with Roman about the contract signing next week, to make it clear who’s game this is. The fans chant “LA Knight, yeah”. LA Knight throws the microphone at Heyman and leaves the ring.
Also set for next week’s SmackDown is Rey Mysterio and Santos Escobar vs. The Street Profits. Montez Ford defeated Escobar on Friday night’s episode after outside interference from Angelo Dawkins. This led to a brawl with Carlito coming down to make the save.
The October 27 episode of WWE SmackDown will air live on FS1 due to the World Series airing on FOX. The show will emanate from the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, WI.
