Braun Strowman vs. Roman Reigns will be the featured match on the season premiere episode of WWE SmackDown following the most recent edition of the WWE Draft, where the WWE Universal Championship will be on the line in a heated contest. There is absolutely no way at all that Roman Reigns is losing the WWE Universal Championship at this point in time but neither can WWE afford to make Braun Strowman, one of the top stars on RAW look weak during a WWE SmackDown appearance.
One needs to remember that Braun Strowman will be in yet another big match on WWE RAW and to promote that contest, the company could have Keith Lee show up and cost Braun Strowman a chance to become the WWE Universal Champion. In this way, Roman Reigns remains the face of WWE SmackDown and well, Braun Strowman doesn't look weak in defeat either.
In closing, stay up-to-date with the hottest rumors of the week from WWE SmackDown and RAW with Stephanie Chase.
