Roman Reigns walked out of Mexico City with his title still around his waist, but not for long before LA Knight made sure everyone knew he wants a piece of it. The Tribal Chief had just survived a grueling defense against Penta in the main event of Raw when Knight showed up backstage, uninvited and unbothered by the fact that Reigns could barely stand.Knight didn't talk first and immediately went to the hit mode, dropping Reigns with a BFT before scooping up the World Heavyweight Championship and holding it in his face. Reigns, still shaken from the match, later stared into the camera and made it official, he and Knight will settle this at Money in the Bank on October 10 in New Orleans.LA Knight attacks Roman Reigns, setting up Money in the Bank clashThe attack happened away from the live broadcast, but the fallout traveled fast once fan-shot footage hit social media.
