Roman Reigns held onto his World Heavyweight Championship belt at WWE Money in the Bank on Saturday, but you gotta wonder what LA Knight has to do to finally get it done, especially after that insane post-match brawl. Reigns defeating Knight was one thing, but the absolute chaos that followed proved The Bloodline isn’t just back, they’re running wild again.
LA Knight Took Roman Reigns To The Edge, But Couldn’t Finish The Job
Man, this match was a war. LA Knight, full of confidence, threw everything but the kitchen sink at Roman Reigns. We saw so many near-falls you couldn’t keep track. Reigns hit a Superman punch that almost got the three-count early on. Knight fired back with a Superplex-Burning Hammer combo, and you thought that was it, but no. Reigns came back with a Uranage that looked like a finisher, but nope. These two went blow for blow, even trading shots on the outside and barely beating a double count-out to get back in the ring.
Reigns tried for another Superman Punch to set up his spear, but Knight countered it with a BFT that had everyone on their feet! Knight went for the pin, but Reigns, somehow, kicked out just in time. Knight even tried to hit his own spear, only for Reigns to counter with his. The Tribal Chief then laid in some heavy right hands, dedicating each one to a Bloodline member, with Solo Sikoa getting the last one. But then Knight hit Reigns with *another* spear, and still, it wasn’t enough for the win! The challenger even sent Reigns flying through the outside barricade after a failed spear attempt by Reigns, then powerbombed him through the announce table. Knight tossed him back in the ring and hit an elbow off the top rope, and somehow, that didn’t lead to a pin either! You just had to be asking, “What does this guy have to do?!” The end came when Reigns dropped Knight across the top rope, hit two Superman punches, and finally connected with a spear to get the job done. Wild match, absolutely brutal finish for Knight.
The 946 Showed Up, But The Bloodline Shut Down Money in the Bank
Just when you thought the action was over, things got absolutely nuts after the final bell. The 946 popped up in the crowd, giving Reigns the business with their gestures. Reigns looked totally unbothered, and we quickly found out why. Solo Sikoa and The Usos appeared right behind The 946, and that’s when all hell broke loose. A massive brawl exploded, spilling from the crowd, through the concourse, and all the way outside the arena! Jaida Parker eventually showed up in a getaway car to get The 946 out of there. It’s clear The Bloodline isn’t just about Reigns anymore, it’s a whole family affair, and they’re bringing the pain to anyone who stands in their way.
This whole mess just adds another chapter to the years-long beef between Reigns and Knight. Remember, Knight even teamed up with The Usos earlier this year before WrestleMania 42, beating Logan Paul, Austin Theory, and IShowSpeed! But then Reigns beat CM Punk for the world title at WrestleMania, and The Usos immediately went right back to their cousin, reforming The Bloodline. Knight’s been fuming about The Bloodline running rampant, costing him world title chances in 2023 and 2024. He tried to get The Usos to ditch Reigns and even took his concerns to Raw general manager Adam Pearce. When that went nowhere, Knight found some unlikely friends in Solo Sikoa and Royce Keys, who were also beefing with The Bloodline. They even teamed up to beat The Usos and Jacob Fatu at SummerSlam, which was a huge momentum builder for Knight to get this title shot. Knight even accused Reigns of ducking him when Reigns agreed to face a tournament winner of luchadores in Mexico City! Reigns beat Penta on Raw last month, and Knight didn’t waste a second before attacking him. This rivalry? It’s personal, and it’s far from over.
What’s next for LA Knight after getting this close and then getting absolutely pummeled after the bell? You gotta believe this rivalry with Reigns and The Bloodline is nowhere near over. Knight’s momentum has been building, even with these setbacks, and every fan watching Saturday knows he’s gotta be hungry for another shot.
