WWE has announced that Roman Reigns will be in action this Friday night. ‘The Big Dog’ will be taking on Dolph Ziggler as part of this Friday’s SmackDown television programme on the FOX Network. This week’s episode of WWE SmackDown will be taking place from the Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville, NC.
It has also been teased that we will see an update on the Daniel Bryan vs Bray Wyatt feud on this week’s show.
WWE sent out the following press release confirming the match:
Roman Reigns to face Dolph Ziggler as struggle for SmackDown supremacy continues
As The Glorious One is stretchered out by medics following The Big Dog’s brutal beatdown, Roman continues to target Robert Roode as he exits the arena.
Dolph Ziggler is next up to do the king’s bidding in the ongoing rivalry with Roman Reigns.
On last week’s SmackDown, King Corbin evaded the challenge and summoned Robert Roode to face Reigns. The Big Dog took exception to The Glorious One’s attempted scepter brutality and sent the competitor on a less than glorious stretcher ride out of the arena.
Will The Showoff score a royal victory for Corbin’s court? Or will Reigns lay waste to another minion as the battle for control of SmackDown continues?
