3 reasons LA Knight will defeat Roman Reigns at WWE Crown Jewel 2023

In the main event of WWE Crown Jewel 2023, LA Knight will challenge Roman Reigns for the Unified World Championships.

"The Megastar" has been a significant thorn in the path of The Bloodline, having successfully conquered Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso at Fastlane with John Cena. Cena put over Knight big-time by personally introducing the latter as The Tribal Chief's next opponent.

Although Reigns is the favorite to win their upcoming clash, there are 3 significant reasons why LA Knight should win the Unified WWE Universal Championship at Crown Jewel.

#3. "The YEAH Revolution" has done wonders

It's hard to talk about pro wrestling today without mentioning LA Knight. From selling merchandise to stealing the show every week with his microphone skills, Knight has experienced a massive surge in popularity.

In a way, he has forced Triple H to push him. The fans have rallied behind Knight as he continues to generate the loudest crowd reactions. His popularity has grown to a point where the SmackDown Superstar has almost become a mainstream player.

With the rise in momentum and fame, WWE would be wise to capitalize on Knight's recent successes. "The Megastar" would bring more eyes, sell more merchandise, and move the needle like few could.

#2 Roman Reigns' run has become stale

For almost three-and-a-half years, Roman Reigns has sat atop the WWE mountain with the World Championship. From Kevin Owens to John Cena to Jey Uso, The Tribal Chief has a long list of victims.

However, while the reign has been awe-inspiring, it may have reached its expiry date. With very few challengers in sight, there are fewer opportunities. WWE added an intriguing dimension with The Bloodline implosion saga, but that has also grown stale.

One may feel that WrestleMania is the ideal location, but WWE could pull the trigger as soon as Crown Jewel.

#1. LA Knight cannot afford to lose

While it may seem as if Roman Reigns is the rival with everything to lose, the same can be said for LA Knight.

Due to his stellar promo-cutting skills and undeniable charisma, Knight forced WWE to propel him to the stratosphere. The push has been steady and well-timed, and it reaches its climax at Crown Jewel.

If Knight loses, he will fall down the pecking order and could potentially become another guy. The fans may start losing faith in him as a top star. The loss could prove to be catastrophic.
