The Dark match main event saw a six-man tag match between Drew McIntyre & The Viking Raiders vs The Usos & Roman Reigns. But the crowd started chanting that Heyman looked like a Walrus. The action stopped for a brief period when Reign was seen hugging Heyman and comforting the manager while standing outside of the ring.
During a dark match before SmackDown last night. According to PWInsider Rising WWE, SmackDown star Aliyah scored a victory over Shayna Baszler.
Brock Lesnar faced Bobby Lashley at Royal Rumble, where he had to defend his title against The Almighty. When Roman Reigns interfered in the match and cost Lesnar the title with a bit of help from Paul Heyman.
Heyman was fired by Reigns earlier on SmackDown, but the former showed his back on Lesnar during the Rumble. But now Beast has secured his place at WrestleMania main event and will be facing Reigns in a title vs title unification match. After that, the Titans will face each other at The Grandest Stage of All. Lesnar will be looking forward to Heyman as well in the event.
It will be interesting to see who walks out as a champion in the end and whether Reigns’ Reign as champion will be broken or not.
