Earlier on WWE SmackDown, Paul Heyman challenged Adam Pearce to a one-on-one match on the show. One of the most intriguing matches of the month was set to main-event SmackDown this week.

Fans were waiting to see where this segment would go as it was evident that Heyman had something up his sleeve. However, Roman Reigns told Heyman to take care of his own business earlier in the night to make things more interesting.

Heyman made his way to the ring for the match but feigned a leg injury just like Pearce did last week. Reigns then made his way to the ring as Heyman’s replacement to get revenge for last week's bait-and-switch.

The Tribal Chief nailed Pearce with a Superman punch and beat down the WWE official. While it seemed like no one could stop what was going on, Kevin Owens made his way out to help Pearce. The former Universal Champion had been barred from entering the arena earlier, but he made his way through.

The two rivals beat down each other, and KO hit Reigns with a Stunner. He then power bombed Reigns through the commentators' table to make an impact.

SmackDown did a good job with this segment and helped fuel the rivalry between all the parties involved. It seems like Reigns’ problems with Pearce are far from over, while KO managed to leave a mark just in time for their Royal Rumble match.
