Following his SummerSlam win, Roman Reigns quickly found a new opponent as LA Knight stepped in during Monday Night Raw. Knight disrupted Reigns' celebration, positioning himself as the next contender for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. During their exchange, Knight questioned Reigns' authenticity, pointing to the watch on his wrist and claiming it was cheap, something you might buy from a discount store.
Knight didn't just make idle remarks — fans viewed his comments as a direct challenge to one of WWE’s most dominant figures. 'Fraud? I only see one fraud,' Knight said. A Megastar? Zoom in. This is what a Megastar wears.'
However, the situation took a surprising turn after the show. Wrestler Conrad posted on X/Twitter with a picture of Reigns' timepiece, clearly showing it was an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. His post revealed the watch's price tag — $575,000 — contradicting Knight's claim that it came from a budget chain.
Knight’s challenge raises expectations
Knight's bold move isn't just for show — it’s part of a calculated strategy. Fans have long desired a bigger role for him, and his clash with Reigns hints at a potential title match. Yet, given Reigns' consistent dominance, the outcome remains predictable. At WWE Crown Jewel 2023, Reigns already bested Knight and kept his belt, signaling the current power structure within WWE.
Still, Knight's confidence could work in his favor, potentially helping him gain more attention on the main roster. WWE often thrives on such storylines, and the surprising value of that watch shows that appearances can be misleading — and that some items are much more valuable than they first seem.
