Bully Ray has shared his thoughts on why he believes LA Knight stands little chance against Roman Reigns at the upcoming WWE Money in the Bank event. Reflecting on their interaction during this week’s episode of WWE Raw, Ray pointed out that despite Knight being a fan favorite, Roman Reigns received an overwhelmingly positive reaction from the crowd. The WWE Hall of Famer mentioned on the “Busted Open” podcast that this response clearly indicated Knight’s uphill battle against Reigns.
Ray described the moment Reigns’ entrance music hit as a turning point, with the crowd erupting in a powerful roar that signaled the outcome before the match even began. “When Roman’s music played, the arena shook with a roar – deep and commanding like a lion’s. I knew right then it was over; nothing could surpass that energy,” Ray said.
While acknowledging LA Knight’s mic skills, Ray noted that few can match Reigns in that department. He emphasized that the arena didn’t have any top-tier verbal performers like CM Punk, John Cena, or Paul Heyman present to challenge Reigns’ dominance. Ray admitted that although Knight is competent with a microphone, he lacks the verbal arsenal to truly challenge Roman, with his attempts often coming off as immature.
Ultimately, the tag team veteran believes Knight’s promo skills aren’t enough to overcome the immense crowd support and presence Roman Reigns commands.
Fan Take: This insight highlights the intensity of crowd influence in wrestling and how a superstar’s connection with fans can tilt a match before it even starts. For fight fans, understanding these dynamics adds depth to the sport, showing that battles aren’t just physical contests but also psychological and emotional wars.
