WWE is reportedly planning to unveil a new Universal Championship on SmackDown this week during Roman Reigns' 1000-day celebration. Wrestling fans have taken to social media to share their thoughts.
The Tribal Chief hit a thousand days as Universal Champion on May 27 last month, the same day he competed at Night of Champions. During the event, he teamed up with his cousin Solo Sikoa against Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship. Jimmy Uso cost them the match after hitting The Head of the Table with two superkicks.
On the blue brand this week, Roman Reigns will celebrate his incredible milestone, as he's been a world champion in WWE since 2020. According to Fightful Select, a new championship could be unveiled during the show.
