Roman Reigns is still champion after a dramatic night in New Orleans.

Reigns defeated LA Knight to keep the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE's Money in the Bank event on Saturday at the Smoothie King Center, Fox News reported. The crowd was on the edge of its seats throughout the match.

"It was now or never for LA Knight in his pursuit of a world title," Fox's OutKick wrote. "Roman Reigns made sure it was never."

ESPN said Reigns, known as "The Tribal Chief," will have his hands full. "Everyone wants a shot at Roman Reigns," its headline said.

The night's other big story was the women's Money in the Bank ladder match. Tiffany Stratton climbed the ladder and grabbed the briefcase, Fox News reported. She beat Roxanne Perez, Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, Jacy Jayne and Lash Legend in a dangerous match.

The briefcase guarantees its holder a world championship match of their choice at any time over the next year, Sports Illustrated explained. The winner can "cash in" whenever they want, even right after another match when a champion is hurt or tired. One man and one woman win a briefcase each year.

The match was invented more than two decades ago and has launched the careers of many wrestlers.

WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque told fans before the show that it would be a "hold my breath until it's over" kind of night.

WWE's results are scripted, but the athletes perform real and often risky stunts. The company streams its big events on ESPN.

What we know: Reigns beat LA Knight to keep his title.
What we don't: who will challenge him next.
