Part-time Roman Reigns is a thing of the past. One could say so while gazing at the new dates that WWE has added to his upcoming TV schedule. A latest SmackDown graphic confirms that The OTC will appear on the blue brand at least six times through October and November. After the Bad Blood PLE, where he’s set to make his in-ring return, Reigns will journey to SmackDown in Greenville on October 11.
He’ll be there live in Columbia on October 18, also making a trip to the Barclays Center in NYC the following week. There are rumors that he might compete at Crown Jewel as well that’s set to emanate from Saudi Arabia on November 2. After that, the 39-year-old will be on the road in full swing en route to Survivor Series: WarGames.
A previous report suggested that Reigns will be involved in the traditional double-caged match that’s likely to be a Bloodline civil war. To build to his highly anticipated WarGames showdown, Roman will appear on three consecutive SmackDown editions post-Crown Jewel.
It’s going to be a memorable stretch for his fans, as they’ve been clamoring for his more frequent WWE presence. The Big Dog hasn’t had a match since losing the Undisputed WWE title to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL. And guess what? The destiny has turned these bitter enemies into unlikely allies for the time being.
Rhodes and Reigns will take on the menacing duo of Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu at Bad Blood. As it has been the case since Solo usurped the tribal chiefdom from Roman, his version of The Bloodline has been nothing but unhinged. It needs to be seen if their antics could actually upset two of WWE’s biggest stars next month.
Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes traded heavy blows on SmackDown
This past week on SmackDown, Roman Reigns descended on the Georgia Tech field where he used to play college football. The WWE cameras followed him to the stadium, where The Head of the Table was visited by an uninvited guest in the form of Cody Rhodes. Both made an argument over why Atlanta is their city.
Reigns told Cody that he booked himself into a lose-lose situation while taking the gauntlet to The Bloodline. Rhodes showed Roman mirror saying that he isn’t the same box-office attraction anymore he once was. Sporting a grin on his face, The OTC asked Rhodes what he wanted.
The former AEW EVP needed Reigns to have his back so that he could return the favor. But Roman told Cody that once it’s all said and done, he’d take back the world title from The American Nightmare. That masterpiece of a segment had major inputs from Paul Heyman.
