WWE News Roundup: Returning star addresses fan criticism, Top babyface teams up with Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns' message to his rival (January 23, 2022)

#4. Roman Reigns' message to Seth Rollins after WWE SmackDown

The latest WWE SmackDown show ended in a tag team match pitting Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens against The Usos. The high-stakes contest ended via disqualification when Roman Reigns attacked his former Shield brother.

Reigns sent a message to Rollins after the show, highlighting how the RAW star has attempted to rattle him by appearing on the blue brand over the last few weeks:

Interestingly, with the disqualification result favoring Rollins' team, there will now be a stipulation for his upcoming match against Reigns. The Universal Champion's cousins, Jimmy and Jey Uso, have been banned from ringside for his title defense at the Royal Rumble event.

Rollins had the following response to his former stablemate's recent tweet:

"*ahem* ASKED to #SmackDown by Fox execs to inject some life into a show you’ve drained of it for the last 500whatever a** days. And now it’s just you and me, brother. While this should be Mania, making history at Rumble suits me just fine."

While the stipulation could decrease Reigns' winning chances on January 29, he has also emerged victoriously from matches without The Usos' help throughout his current title reign.
