Mr. McMahon introduces WWE's "Biggest Acquisition"

Roman Reigns is now on the Blue Brand!

Mr. McMahon came out to introduce "the future face of the entire WWE". There was an actual drumroll and WWE's biggest "acquisition" turned out to be Elias. Elias joined Vince in the ring and thanked Vince McMahon for giving him so much honor. He trashed on Montreal and then got to his performance but it was interrupted by Roman Reigns.

Roman Reigns is now on SmackDown Live and he attacked Elias before Vince told him to go back to the lockers. Reigns instead hit Vince with Superman Punch said SmackDown Live was his yard now! Reigns returned to the ring for a Spear on Elias before walking back out for a second time with a huge cheer from the Montreal crowd.

With that, probably the most exciting episode of SmackDown Live in the last few weeks ended.
