Proving the speculations true, Roman Reigns has now been confirmed to put his undisputed title on the line at Elimination Chamber 2023. His opponent will be none other than his current rival Sami Zayn who is a massive fan-favorite heading into the contest.
During the latest episode of WWE SmackDown, Roman Reigns delivered a warning to Sami Zayn, after Zayn’s betrayal of Reigns during the closing moments of the Royal Rumble, this past weekend by whacking him onto the back with a steel chair.
