LA Knight is getting in the head of Roman Reigns.
Friday's WWE SmackDown opened with Roman Reigns making his way to the ring for his contract signing with LA Knight. However, while Roman was in the middle of posing with the Undisputed WWE World Championship at the top of the entrance, LA Knight's music hit and the challenger at WWE Crown Jewel walked past Roman and got in the ring.
LA Knight took his place at the head of the contract signing announce table, much to the chagrin of Reigns and Paul Heyman.
The mind games didn't stop there as Knight referenced Reigns' infamous "sufferin' succotash" line when mentioning Roman's failures.

Roman used the line during a January 2015 episode of WWE SmackDown, saying Seth Rollins was "full of sufferin' succotash."
Roman would eventually get fed up with Knight's comments, attacking him to close the contract signing. Knight would get the upper hand and stand tall by putting Jimmy Uso through a table.
