Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns looks set to happen at WWE Royal Rumble 2022
Moments after this segment, WWE on FOX's Twitter account officially announced Seth Rollins challenging Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at WWE Royal Rumble 2022. However, they quickly took it down and covered it up claiming that they jumped the gun, and it's not been officially announced yet.
We are definitely heading towards a feud between these two megastars and WWE should officially announce it soon.
An interesting thing to note here is that Seth Rollins could be turning face. After this week's SmackDown, Seth Rollins came out to the ring. He was then attacked by SmackDown Tag Team Champions and Roman Reigns' cousins, The Usos. However, Rollins managed to overcome the beatdown and delivered a stomp to both Jimmy and Jey.
