Roman Reigns is the Undisputed WWE Universal Heavyweight Champion. On Saturday, January 27th, Reigns will defend his title at the Royal Rumble mega-event, live from Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. But against whom?
That’s the big question as WWE Smackdown steamrolls towards its annual January event. And as Randy Orton, LA Knight and AJ Styles all vie for position to be the challenger for The Tribal Chief‘s title, Smackdown head honcho Nick Aldis has a serious decision to make.
In order to determine which potential challenger gets the title match, Aldis arranged a Triple Threat Match on Smackdown, which would see Randy Orton vs LA Knight vs AJ Styles. The winner of this match would become no.1 contender, and receive the championship bout against Roman Reigns at The Royal Rumble.
It all made sense.
But then Roman Reigns (and Paul Heyman, Solo and Jimmy Uso) had other plans.
But those plans didn’t take hold, as Nick Aldis pulled yet another ace out of his sleeve to counter The Bloodline‘s uprising.
