Roman Reigns came out for the final segment of WWE SmackDown and addressed the challenge John Cena made.

Reigns mocked the 16-time World Champion and said that Hollywood fooled him. He claimed that this was the same Cena we’ve been watching for the last 15 years. He went on to deny Cena a Universal Championship match, following which Finn Balor made his way out to the middle.

Balor got in the SmackDown ring with Reigns and issued a challenge of his own for the Universal Championship. The WWE Universe erupted into chants of “Roman’s scared” before The Tribal Chief accepted Balor’s challenge.

The Prince is back on SmackDown and has immediately made his way to the Universal Championship picture. While things could get ugly for Balor in the weeks to come, it's good to see that WWE is ready to experiment with its bookings on the Blue brand.

Most fans were convinced that a match between Reigns and Cena could take place at WWE SummerSlam, but Balor’s arrival has changed things. Will the company stretch the tension between Reigns and Cena beyond SummerSlam?
