The WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns is one of the top stars on WWE SmackDown brand and he has performed remarkably in the heel gimmick of The Tribal Chief.
Roman Reigns takes control of his booking
As it turns out, Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman reportedly have a lot of creative control of the character. It is also noted that all his segments and matches have either opened the show or closed it, which are the two important slots on the show. He has been a main eventer and has been often seen starting the show.
Dave Meltzer on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio noted that Roman Reigns has made shoot demands which is to either go first or last and he doesn’t want to be anywhere in the middle of the show.“
Dave Meltzer said: “You put the most important first or last. That’s the big argument right now with Roman Reigns. Roman Reigns will either go first or last. He won’t go anywhere else, that’s a shoot. He doesn’t want to go (anywhere) but first, because that’s okay, or last, which is preferable because he’s the main event and he doesn’t want to go second or fourth or second from the top.”
Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso could feud soon
Jimmy Uso made his return to Friday Night SmackDown few weeks back and made the family drama a lot more interesting. His brother Jey Uso is the right hand man of The Tribal Chief but unlike his brother, Jimmy has denied to take orders from Reigns, creating a turmoil in the family.
The latest edition of SmackDown saw The Usos face off Rey Mysterio and Dominik for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships twice. The first time, they lost the match but due to an improper pin.
The two teams faced each other once again in the main event of the show but it was Roman Reigns who caused an interference and assaulted both Rey Mysterio and Dominik.
Jimmy Uso then walked off but Roman held back Jey Uso. We will have to see how this angle progresses and who knows, we could even see a match between Jimmy Uso and Roman Reigns at the upcoming Hell In A Cell pay-per-view.
