3) The Upcoming Plans For Roman Reigns?
On Smackdown last week, Roman Reigns was attacked by Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode. This was during Reigns’ match against King Corbin. The distraction from Ziggler and Roode led to Corbin defeating Reigns.
According to Cageside Seats‘ rumor roundup, Reigns could be receiving some help in this storyline with Corbin, Ziggler, and Roode. They say that speculation is that The Usos will be brought back to WWE television for this storyline. If it happens, they would come to the aid of Reigns, which would even the numbers.
This would actually make some sense as Ziggler and Roode attacking Reigns was really random. The Usos returning has been a rumor for a while now and this storyline provides the perfect opportunity. We will have to wait and see.
