Roman Reigns Will Defend The Universal Championship Against Braun Strowman Next Week On SMACKDOWN

Before Roman Reigns defends the Universal Championship against Jey Uso at Hell in a Cell, he'll put the title on the lines against a man he has a lot of history with, The Monster Among Men Braun Strowman.

Roman Reigns will defend the Universal Championship against Jey Uso at Hell in a Cell in an "I Quit" Match, but first he has to get by The Monster Among Men.

WWE has announced that Braun Strowman will face The Big Dog with the title on the line next week on SmackDown. These men have a lot of history together and have engaged in some brutal battles in the past, but they're both very different Superstars now. Reigns is a heel for the first time, and while Strowman still behaves like a bad guy, (we think?) he's supposed to be a babyface.

Braun ain't winning the strap, of course, but this should still be a damn physical match.

Also announced for next Friday's episode, The New Day will have their farewell match as a team when Big E, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods face Cesaro, Shinsuke Nakamura and Sheamus in a six-man tag. Could we see a heel turn from E here? Highly unlikely, but not impossible!
