Will ‘The Head of the Table’ Roman Reigns become ‘The Head of NXT? During a hype package during tonight’s edition of the black and gold brand, the special counsel for the WWE Universal Champion, Paul Heyman appeared, making his NXT debut, and stated that Roman Reigns has his eye on the NXT title match between Karrion Kross and Finn Balor. That match will take place next week. Did this Roman Reigns Hell in a Cell match just leak?
Reigns in addition, called out Jimmy Uso for an altercation for this week’s WWE Smackdown in a newly released promo. Reigns would also put the finishing touches on addressing Cesaro who he made pass out and subsequently defeated to retain his championship during Sunday’s WrestleMania Backlash pay-per-view event.

Show up and win. Show up and win, that’s what I did. It’s because of moments like right now, already putting in the work,” Reigns began. “I’m special, man, I’m the best generational talent. I’m that transcendent landmark where the old school meets the new school, you know what I’m saying? There ain’t nobody like me in the whole world, in all of entertainment, sports entertainment. There ain’t nobody like me. And I told you, like the majority of my opponents, I respected that man Cesaro. I respect that man. I said he’s one of the greatest in-ring wrestlers in the whole world. So, what did I do? I beat him at his own game.
“And we live in a world of negativity, of haters,” he continued. “They never bother me. They’re never a problem for me, but they are a problem for my opponents. Cesaro might have had a chance last night if my own blood wasn’t hating on me, wasn’t doubting me. It’s all motivation to me. When you get it all the time, it motivates you to do the work, but when it’s within your bloodline, within your family, it hits way harder. And I had to go out there and show them. So Jimmy! Jim. Don’t text me, don’t call me, don’t FaceTime me, don’t tell your brother to text me, don’t hit me up on the group chat. We’re gonna have to talk about this one, but we’ll do it on my show. Friday night. My SmackDown. Have a good week, Uce. I’ll see you in a few,” Roman Reigns ‘disrespected’ this WWE diva at Backlash.
