Roman Reigns & LA Knight Segment
LA Knight:Let me talk to you. Nearly 1,200 days, my god, that’s impressive. But what’s more impressive is how quickly 1,200 days can come to an end, let’s go back and rewind your mind, a bit. Just last week, what happened? Roman Reigns comes on down here, said, oh, well, I’m going to give LA Knight a spear, right? Nah-Nah. Tribal Chief gets his head dropped on the business end of a BFT. And guess what? Tomorrow at Crown Jewel, it goes no different. He finds himself dropped on the mat, and don’t get lost in the sauce right now, because here is what this is. This is a hostile takeover, make no mistake about it. I’m coming to take over everything that you stand for, everything that you think you’ve owned for the last three years. That WWE Championship has no chance, but to come home with me. And it will be the end of Roman’s reign, yeah. But let’s go ahead and come all around.
Roman Reigns:Typically, I would tell this irrelevant town to acknowledge me, but they know exactly who I am. But I can’t say the same for you. I thought after all this time, it was very clear who the tribal chief is, but I don’t think you understand. So, I’m going to introduce myself, one time only. I’m, Roman Reigns. I am The Tribal Chief, The Head Of The Table. And I am the face of the WWE. A lot has changed around here. I take my time to leave, and I expect people to step up, but I didn’t think it was going to be you. But you did something to catch the attention of these people. You managed your time wisely and got all of these people on your side. I give you credit for that. It’s not easy in this day and age. Go ahead, chant his name, because this is the last night that’s going to happen. Like I said, I’ve advanced this business. It seems like you’re trying to set us back. I pushed us forward. All the way to the big screens. What do the kids say these days? What do they call it? Cinema.
You’re damn right, I’m the star, everybody knows that, the true megastar. I’ve turned this industry into a multi-billion-dollar industry. I’ve done everything you can do. And what is that you’ve done? What have you done around here for the past few months? The only thing you’ve done is get these people to chant your name, and what, cosplay a redneck version of my cousin. That’s done now. This little dream you’re living, it’s over. This is my reality. This is my island of relevancy. So, take this night and enjoy it, because tomorrow, I’m going to smash you. We are going to end you. They’re going to stop chanting your name. They won’t even know who you are. You’ll disappear, because when I’m done, we are going to leave you in the desert. And don’t worry, you won’t be the last one.
LA Knight: You know what? You feel pretty unbeatable, don’t you? I mean, let’s face it, you have beaten everybody, haven’t you? You have beat just about everyone that’s stood in front of you. But you don’t understand, I’m not coming at you from the same angle everybody is. You don’t understand, I’m not here to finish something. You don’t understand, I’m here to start something. YEAH! I am here to start the LA Knight era. So, if you want to talk about cosplaying, tomorrow I’m going to cosplay the guy kicking your ass at Crown Jewel. Matter of fact, I’m not going to cosplay it, I’m just going to live it. You want to come in here and talk about megastars. I’ll tell you what, man, you have done an amazing job, you damn near made yourself a megastar. Only because you hold that title. I made myself a megastar because I live it every damn day. So, I’m going to put it you like this. You talk about leaving me in the desert, I don’t do warning shots, so make sure when you take your shot, make sure you leave me, make sure I’m done. Because if you don’t, I will come back and I will find you. And the only bloodline that will be visible will be running right down between your eyes, and you hear them saying, and new WWE Champion, LA Knight.
