Seth Rollins has been eyeing Roman Reigns and his Universal Championship for a while now. But he got distracted thanks to the 'Rated-R Superstar'.

The 'Drip King' recently lost his match against Edge at WWE SummerSlam. However, he still hopes to enter the Universal Championship picture. On SmackDown this week, Rollins could try to cost Reigns the match but end up taking out Balor instead.

This angle would allow Roman Reigns to retain his title while possibly getting Rollins into a rivalry with Finn Balor. The angle will keep the top superstars engaged on SmackDown.

Roman Reigns and The Usos have been doubting Paul Heyman’s loyalty ever since Brock Lesnar returned at WWE SummerSlam. Heyman will be at ringside for the match between The 'Head of the Table' and Finn Balor on WWE SmackDown.

During the contest, WWE could hit Lesnar’s music by mistake. This could cause Heyman to panic and rush to the back to protect himself. The distraction could allow Balor to roll up Reigns for a near-fall before the Tribal Chief overpowers him to pick up the win.

The angle could further fuel the tension between Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns, giving the creative team a chance to book an interesting storyline between Reigns and Brock Lesnar at the upcoming Crown Jewel.
