What is the significance of LA Knight’s upcoming match against Roman Reigns at Money in the Bank?
Welcome to the Busted Open Podcast. This is Dave LaGrecka. On today's episode, myself and Bully Ray look at your number one contender, LA Knight, going up against Roman Reigns at Money in the Bank. Speaking of number one contenders, your number one contender for the NXT champion, Mason Rook, in his first ever big interview with the WWE joins us right here on Busted Open. This is Is the busted open
Podcast. Wanna make a comparison to something because you said how Penta is elevated. Definitely elevated in the in the crowd's mind. And I think also elevated in The higher ups of WWE's mind. Now this is not an apples to apples comparison. But I think you're gonna get my point. The guy who is about to get a shot at Roman Reigns was given the same opportunity that Penta was given a couple of years ago in Saudi Arabia, and that's LA Night. Yes. And I don't think LA Knight Had the match That the higher ups were hoping LA Knight had with Roman Reigns and Penta did.
I I understand where you're going, bully, but I I I think it's un I do think it's unfair to compare the I said
it's a not an apples to apples comparison.
It's hard it's hard to
Man, it's hard. No it's not. No it's not. Just take away the town. Just take away the town. I'm looking at the match. Just the match. I know what I saw in the two matches. Penta had I I don't give a shit about Mexico. I don't give a shit about Saudi Arabia. I don't give a shit about the Yeys and the Booze. I'm talking about the match that was worked. Penta stepped up to the world champion. Penta had the level of match with Roman Reigns that needed to happen in that moment in time. I'm not saying that LA Knight did not do a good job in Saudi. Penta just did a superior job.
I it's hard for me to argue because I don't remember a lot of the match between Roman Reigns and LA Knight and Saudi, but I think I'll always remember the match between Penta and Roman Reigns. So I c I can't argue with what you just said, Bully, because I can only go by my memory.
And this is pretty interesting because I remember that match with LA Knight and Roman in Saudi because we talked about it a lot leading up to it on this show and how important it was for LA Knight. And I think I specifically said, I wish we can go back in time right at this very moment. I talked about how this match is going to tell the higher-ups how they need to proceed with LA Knight moving forward. Forward.
Well now they're gonna get a second chance. So we're gonna we're we're gonna we're gonna see this match with LA Knight and Roman Reigns bully at Money in the Bank in New Orleans. Now I'm just judging for from the love that fans have with LA Knight. Safe to say that the crowd's gonna be pretty solid behind LA Knight in that match at Money in the Bank.
I would believe that they will be.
Yeah, I believe that they will be too. Now what
what will be the last Roman Reigns match that the people have on their mind?
It's gonna be the match with Penta.
So LA Knight has a lot to live up to in the ring versus Roman Reigns.
There there's no doubt and that crowd in New Orleans and it's impossible. You're you're you're not gonna match the crowd that you got in Mexico City because, like you said, it's the home, it the the the the the circumstances, everything surrounding that. You can't duplicate that. You can't duplicate that. But I do believe that the fans will be behind. LA Night. Will the fans be as much behind LA Night where they boo Roman Reigns? I I d I don't know. I don't know about that.
Here okay, so I know Roman got booed heavily in In Mexico. The next time we see Roman on television, which I'm not sure when that is, it might me m be money in the bank. The next response you hier. to Roman Reigns will tell you a lot about how the people will react to LA Night that night. I agree. I wanna was was Mexico a one hundred percent anomaly?
