WWE Confirms Roman Reigns vs. LA Knight Match at MITB 2026

WWE has officially confirmed that Roman Reigns will face LA Knight for the World Heavyweight Championship at Money in the Bank 2026. This highly anticipated match is set to take place at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans on October 10.

The rivalry between Reigns and Knight has intensified over recent months, particularly after Knight confronted Reigns on RAW following SummerSlam, questioning his standing in the industry. Their conflict escalated in Mexico City, where Knight attacked Reigns after a title defense against Penta, leading to the match being sanctioned by RAW General Manager Adam Pearce.

During a recent episode of SmackDown, WWE commentator Michael Cole revealed that this championship bout will open the event. For Reigns, this match is an opportunity to counter Knight's claims of relying on The Bloodline, while Knight aims to secure a significant victory that would validate his position in WWE.
