Roman Reigns vs. Riddle Winner Revealed?

The Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns has been on an unstoppable run and he was able to unif the WWE and Universal Championships by defeating Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38. ‘The Tribal Chief’ has not defended the championship on television since then but that could change in the coming weeks.

Roman Reigns might defend his title before SummerSlam

WWE has already set up a feud between Roman Reigns and Matt Riddle. Riddle said he was coming to SmackDown to find Reigns. He wants a shot at the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.

It was rumored that Reigns might defend the title at Money in the Bank, but that isn’t happening. On the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez when Reigns might make his first title defense. July 30^th at SummerSlam is the target date for his first PPV defense, but there is a chance Roman will have a TV match before then.

“July 30^th. He may actually wrestle on TV before that, but July 30^th is his first pay-per-view championship match. He may do a television match before then. If he wrestles Riddle, it’ll be on TV. It won’t be on pay-per-view. At least that’s the plan right now.

The plan is still Orton for July 30^th. I mean, obviously, they were building up the Riddle and Reigns match on Monday, so I’m presuming they’re going to do it, but I was told it would not be a pay-per-view match if they do it and it’s not 100% that they will, but you would think that they will, so that would lead me to believe it’d be a TV match.”
