LA Knight is scheduled to challenge Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE Money in the Bank 2026. The “Megastar” is preparing for the high-stakes match as he seeks to secure the gold and neutralize the champion’s historical dominance and the “numbers game” that has defined Reigns’ career.
The upcoming championship match, scheduled for October 10 at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, marks a significant shift in the WWE calendar. This will be the first time in the company’s history that the Money in the Bank event has been held in October, providing a high-profile stage for Knight to attempt to overcome a champion he has already failed to defeat on two previous occasions in this current storyline cycle.
The 946 faction has emerged as one of the most volatile forces on the roster, currently consisting of Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price, and its newest member, Jaida Parker. The group recently made headlines during the September 28, 2026, episode of Monday Night Raw, where Parker officially joined the ranks after a shocking segment in which she ran over Jacob Fatu with a vehicle. The faction takes its name from the meaning behind the 946 name—a reference to the ZIP code prefix for Oakland, California, the hometown of member Bronco Nima. The group’s West Coast roots and aggressive tactics have already disrupted the status quo on the Raw roster.
