SmackDown Results: Top star returns to the blue brand; WWE official announces last-minute Royal Rumble entry

WWE SmackDown Results (28th January 2022): Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins face-off before the Royal Rumble (contd...)

Roman Reigns said that he was in God Mode now as SmackDown continued and Seth Rollins reminded him of all the times he pinned The Tribal Chief in the past. Reigns brushed it off as 'water under the bridge' before Rollins brought up his betrayal of The Shield.

The Architect said that he did Roman Reigns a favor by hitting him with the chair back then and added that it was because of him that Reigns became who he is today. He added that The Head of the Table had done it all, except for beating Rollins.

Seth Rollins said that he would beat Reigns tomorrow night before the latter said that he could never forgive Rollins for the betrayal and he hated him for it. Rollins said he would make a mockery of the Bloodline and Reigns' championship before dodging a Superman punch and walking out of the ring as SmackDown went off the air.
