Roman Reigns strikes LA Knight as Penta earns title shot on Raw

World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns knocked out LA Knight with a Superman Punch during the September 1 broadcast of WWE Raw. The confrontation occurred following a series of backstage assaults involving Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price, and members of The Bloodline. Earlier in the night, Keys and his associates targeted Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, and Solo Sikoa, prompting Roman Reigns to task Jacob Fatu with addressing the situation. Knight encountered Fatu while checking on the injured Sikoa, leading to a verbal argument that preceded the strike from Roman Reigns. In the main event, Penta earned a championship opportunity by defeating Rey Fenix with a Mexican Destroyer. The win concludes a tournament designed to determine a new challenger for the World Heavyweight Championship. Following the bout, Roman Reigns faced off with Penta to close the program.
