Roman Reigns survived Penta in the main event, but his night wasn’t over when the September 14, 2026 episode of WWE RAW went off the air.
LA Knight attacked the World Heavyweight Champion after the broadcast ended and forced Roman to retreat up the ramp — and that’s when Reigns fired back with an NSFW warning that led directly to a huge Money in the Bank title match. Knight went after Reigns after the show ended, sending the champion backing away from ringside following an already brutal title defense against Penta.
Roman didn’t just disappear backstage, though. Off-air cameras caught Reigns heading up the ramp while still furious over what had happened. This time there was no mystery about who he was talking about — Roman was responding directly to LA Knight after Knight jumped him.
“This is what I’m talking about. I’m sick and tired of it. All these beggars. You want it? If he wants it, he can come get it. Money in the Bank, New Orleans, I’m going to whoop his bitch ass.”
And WWE didn’t waste any time making it official. Roman Reigns will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against LA Knight at Money in the Bank on October 10 in New Orleans, giving Knight exactly what he wanted after taking the fight to Roman once RAW was already off the air.
That means Roman went from surviving Penta in front of a hostile Mexico City crowd to immediately having another challenger come looking for him. LA Knight picked his moment, Roman answered with an NSFW threat, and now the two are officially headed for a World Heavyweight Championship fight in New Orleans.
