LA Knight is poised to challenge World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns at the upcoming Money in the Bank event. Since Reigns typically appears on a part-time basis, Knight took the opportunity on Monday’s WWE Raw to deliver a promo advancing their rivalry. During the promo, Knight praised both Reigns and Penta ahead of their match in Mexico City and expressed some doubt about defeating “The Tribal Chief.” However, Bully Ray from “Busted Open Radio” voiced his disappointment with this approach, preferring Knight to show unwavering confidence rather than self-doubt.
Bully Ray appreciated Knight’s respect for Reigns but emphasized that Knight should have asserted himself more firmly, stating, “I need to see LA Knight be extremely confident… I don’t think there’s any room for the jokes or self doubt for LA Knight.” He also highlighted that Knight’s actions in Mexico City, where he confronted Reigns after a win, demonstrated his opportunistic mindset rather than insecurity. Bully Ray expressed eagerness to hear Knight translate that physical aggression into words, envisioning him declaring, “‘The next time I hit you with a BFT, you’re going to hear ‘one, two, three’ and LA Knight will become your new World Heavyweight Champion.'”
