It’s actually WrestleMania season when the house shows are treated like significant televised events. That being said, Roman Reigns has been scheduled to defend his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship soon enough. In just under two weeks from now, The Tribal Chief once again puts the gold at stake against Sami Zayn. It’s slated to emanate from Canada on March 4th.

This would serve as the rematch from this month’s Elimination Chamber event where the hometown hero succumbed to The King of WWE. Although there are instances where title changes have happened during a live event. However, being that close to WrestleMania, there’s a zero to meagre change Reigns will lose.

Despite of the unimaginable crowd response for The Honorary Hab recently, WWE has not considered changing their original plans. They’re still going with Cody Rhodes as The Tribal Chief’s WrestleMania opponent. While on the other hand, Zayn is expected to reconcile with his former best friend Kevin Owens.

Following the inevitable reunion, the Canadian Brothers are penciled in to challenge The Usos for the Undisputed Tag Team Championships. Also, there’s a strong chance that this epic showdown will main-event first night of WrestleMania in Los Angeles. It will be a sight to behold in front of a vociferous crowd to witness the crowing of brand new tag champs.

For the first time since the Elimination Chamber, the champ is returning home. This week’s SmackDown from Washington DC will witness their Head of The Table live in-person. Well, evidently enough, Roman Reigns has a lot on his shoulders to handle when he steps in the nation’s capital this Friday.

Last week, Jey Uso showed up during the closing moments of SmackDown to absolutely do nothing. Even after seeing his brother Jimmy being kicked in face by Sami Zayn, the Right Hand Man stayed away. Even more so, Jey Usos and Sami Zayn had a direct eye contact before the show went off-air.

Micheal Cole teased some repercussions for this week when the Big Uce makes his presence known. It would be really intriguing to witness where this story heads after such cracks developing. Things may heat up between Reigns and Jey as well. At Elimination Chamber, the Undisputed Champ shoved-off main-event Jey multiple times.
