Here’re the latest comments from WWE.com,
“WWE officials have learned of Roman Reigns’ desire to appear on this week’s Raw, but as of now, and due to his obligations as a SmackDown LIVE Superstar, he will not be appearing on Monday night’s show. Reigns proclaimed Saturday morning via Twitter that he had “some business” on Raw, and that he would return to the red brand this Monday. However, WWE responded saying that will not be the case. Reigns then fired back, saying he still intended on kicking the show off despite WWE’s response.”
?? Just have my music ready.
I’ll be kicking things off on #Raw right at 8pm. https://t.co/DJsTczTKAF— Roman Reigns (@WWERomanReigns) May 5, 2019
As per the latest tweet from Roman Reigns, he will still be trying to appear on WWE Raw. Moreover, he announced to kick things off for the show tonight in Cincinnati, Ohio. This indicates that WWE may have some major planning around this segment to invest the audience’s attention into the show in the opening sequence. Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer reported on this confirming that an invasion angle may be in-store.
The veteran wrestling journalist has disclosed that WWE Raw will be taking NBA Playoffs once again on tonight’s episode. So there’s a chance that the show ratings could drop to a huge extent, once again. In order to prevent it from getting lower, WWE management needs to do something special. They can’t come up with a better idea than bringing back the franchise player into the context.
The Smackdown superstar will try to invade WWE Raw causing chaos at the beginning of the show. Here’s more from Meltzer,
“We knew that they were going to pull something out. I thought they might bring back Steve Austin, their idea was to bring Roman Reigns to Raw and other guys, so they canceled their Monday Night SmackDown House show so a lot of the SmackDown guys might, I’m gonna guess no one’s told me this, but my guess is you’re going to have Roman Reigns and you’re also going to have the four women and the four guys in the Money in the Bank match running in and doing an angle, maybe.”
Invasion angles are quite popular among the WWE Universe where restricted superstars try to trespass in shows. In the current context, we get to see this kind of situation during Survivor Series buildups. But we may have one tonight at the US Bank Arena in Cincinnati with the return of The Big Dog. This will also keep the bad blood ongoing for Roman Reigns with the McMahon family.
