During the show, Reigns made his entrance first, but LA Knight interrupted him and walked out from the back as he was midway to the ring. The second round of insults came when he sat at the head of the table spot inside the ring where Reigns usually sits while signing contracts. Well, that didn’t end there. He even asked him to acknowledge him.
