Roman Reigns has made WWE his own island since after winning the Universal Championship where everyone else has been fighting to become relevant. The trend continues even on his rare appearance on Raw, this week as he picked up two back-to-back wins. Afterward, he mentioned WWE Universe to be his Universe for all the rightful reasons.
As seen on this week’s opening segment of WWE Raw, The Bloodline – Roman Reigns and Smackdown tag team champions Jimmy and Jey Uso defeated The New Day – WWE Champion Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods in a six-man tag team match. Reigns scored the pinfall win over Woods.
After the match, Bobby Lashley attacked everyone who then laid out Roman Reigns and Big E with a Spear. Then in a backstage segment with Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville, Lashley said he’s hurt, but can still defeat WWE and Universal Champion, any day of the week. E also met Pearce and Deville later to demand a match against the two. Pearce and Deville then announced Reigns vs. Lashley vs. Big E for the main event in a Triple Threat.
