Former WWE manager on the benefit of LA Knight facing Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel
Roman Reigns is scheduled to defend the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against LA Knight next Saturday in Saudi Arabia.
Knight has had a meteoric rise to the top of the card in recent months. He teamed up with John Cena to defeat The Bloodline at Fastlane and now is set for the biggest match of his wrestling career at Crown Jewel. Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, Mantell claimed that LA Knight doesn't need to win at the premium live event to benefit from his match against Roman Reigns next weekend:
"Now, he has a main event in Saudi Arabia, and do I think they will put the belt on him? No. I do not. But I do believe that even after losing, he still wins. One way or another, because he is in there with a champion, he has a title shot at a PPV in Saudi Arabia. So that raises his name recognition and also raises his status inside the company and in the fans' eyes. I think this is a win-win situation for a guy to come from where he came from and where he is now." [15:17 - 15:56]
