WWE confirmed LA Times' report that Roman Reigns wil defend the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against LA Knight at WWE Crown Jewel on November 4. Knight has set his sights on Reigns in recent weeks, and the fan-favorite was even endorsed by John Cena as someone who had earned a shot at the gold.

Knight is riding plenty of momentum; he and Cena defeated Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa at WWE Fastlane. Knight then scored a big win when he defeated Solo Sikoa on the October 13 episode of WWE SmackDown. Reigns then dropped the self-proclaimed megastar with a Spear after the bell.

Reigns has not competed or defended the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship on WWE programming since WWE SummerSlam on August 5. He returned to the ring at a live event on October 14. There, he defended the title against Sami Zayn.
