En route to Wrestlemania 38, we expect another collision between two top champions on WWE Smackdown. At this point, both WWE and Universal Champion are booked to collide on the show in the headliner segment. Nothing much is confirmed but we expect the rivalry over the Smackdown Women’s Title will also escalate when another blue brand edition airs from the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
WWE Champion Brock Lesnar kicked off last week’s WWE SmackDown and he was angry over the absence of the Universal Champion Roman Reigns on the show. Lesnar was looking for Reigns after he busted him open at the Madison Square Garden live event.
The Beast proceeded to call out Reigns on multiple occasions as he wanted blood for blood. However, Paul Heyman came out and said Brock got smashed by The Tribal Chief. Heyman then said that Roman wasn’t there on WWE Smackdown.
Lesnar then questioned who will save Heyman as he chased the advocate general to the backstage area. A lot of security guys tried to stop Brock, but they got taken out by the champion. This allowed Heyman to escape in an SUV.
WWE has since announced that The Beast and The Tribal Chief “will collide” during this Friday’s WWE SmackDown on FOX. This segment takes place just two weeks before their Winner Takes All Title Unification Match at Night Two of WrestleMania 38. Not much details have been revealed around what WWE has in store for the two champions but a preview on the official website offered the following,
“After suffering a steel step onslaught at the hands of The Bloodline during a Madison Square Garden Live Event, an irate WWE Champion Brock Lesnar is on a mission to get even with Universal Champion Roman Reigns and dish out the full retribution that is The Beast. Find out what happens when Lesnar collides with The Head of the Table, just weeks before The Biggest WrestleMania Match of All-Time, this Friday at 8/7 C on WWE SmackDown.”
