Roman Reigns is the reigning WWE Universal Champion who is heading towards a mega title defense at Elimination Chamber 2022. A Spear vs. Spear match will go down where Legendary Goldberg will be his challenger. The builds for the match continued through this past week’s Smackdown tapings as the two featured in interview segments.
Roman Reigns was also involved in dark match tapings on the show. He is someone who loves to interact with the fans despite what character he’s playing. He rarely ignores young fans at WWE events, especially. He did it again alongside The Usos during their match after WWE SmackDown to address WWE Warrior Award Recipient Jarrius “JJ” Robertson.

Jarrius often attends WWE shows when the company organizes shows in New Orleans and he was present during the latest taping. It appears that The Usos and The Viking Raiders were duking it out in the ring when Roman Reigns acknowledged the superfan in Jarrius who was visibly excited to meet the star.
Jimmy Uso also gave him a shirt and thus both the heel superstars broke their characters. All of these went down during the dark segment, meaning that the footage won’t be airing on TV, for sure.

Jarrius is a superfan of WWE programming who has received the Warrior Award at the 2018 WWE Hall Of Fame. He battles biliary atresia, a rare chronic liver disease. This disease has caused him to go through dozens of surgeries but the energy he brings along is pretty infectious.
Roman Reigns is a main event attraction on Smackdown
Being a known name in the WWE locker room, he’s also interacted with various top WWE Superstars in the past including Roman Reigns, John Cena, The Miz, and WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon.
En route to Elimination Chamber 2022, WWE has taped two episodes of Smackdown from the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. According to Spoiler TV, the February 12th episode of SmackDown brought in 2.0745 million overnight average viewers with a .5 in the 18 to 49 demographic despite competition from the 2022 Winter Olympic Games.
Next week, the February 19th episode of Smackdown will go down, marking the final episode before Elimination Chamber where Roman Reigns is scheduled to have a face-off segment with Goldberg.
