Last Friday night's SmackDown (20th Oct. 2023) brought an explosive start to the weekend as tensions reached their boiling point ahead of WWE Crown Jewel. The tribal drama within The Bloodline took center stage, with "The Wiseman" Paul Heyman and "The Megastar" LA Knight Yeah! stepping into the spotlight. Their confrontation set the stage for what promises to be a monumental showdown at Crown Jewel. Let's have a discussion about it.
The Wiseman's Proclamation
At the start of SmackDown, "The Wiseman" Paul Heyman, who's loyalty is to the undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, got in the ring to get things going and talk about what's happening at Crown Jewel. Heyman was very sure that Roman Reigns would, once more, prove he's the greatest of all time at WWE Crown Jewel and stay the tribal chief and champion. Roman Reigns has been unstoppable as the top guy, and Heyman's words just made that point even clearer.
"The Megastar" Yeah!
However, right when Heyman was feeling confident about The Bloodline's upcoming success, "The Megastar" LA Knight, who has been gaining attention in WWE, walked into the ring to talk to Heyman. Knight's words were clear and rebellious - he firmly stated that Roman Reigns had never encountered anyone like him before. He promised to defeat the champion and take the undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
What do you think?
The confrontation between LA Knight and Heyman has paved the way for a big showdown at Crown Jewel. Knight's charismatic and confident personality makes him a serious contender to challenge Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship. His daring statement that Reigns has never encountered someone like him creates curiosity. Can Knight prove his words with his performance? Can he do what, Brock Lesnar, Cody Rhodes and all the great super stars couldn't do?
Roman Reigns has been the undisputed WWE Universal Champion for quite a long time and has managed to defeat every opponent who came his way. Now, the second question is, will this upcoming match be the real challenge for "The Head of the Table"? Can Paul Heyman's clever strategies help Reigns secure another win?
