Roman Reigns ‘Injures’ Top Smackdown Star?

WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns recently successfully defended his title against Daniel Bryan.

 


 

While speaking with TV Line Bryan addressed his contract status and said it is not expiring in September. He also revealed that he “wrecked” his neck in recent matches, with Roman Reigns being a frequent recent opponent. He said going into a recent tag match after WrestleMania he felt hurt:

“It’s funny that people gravitate towards the date ‘September,’ and I think it’s because that’s when my last contract ended, but it doesn’t end in September. I’m still trying to figure out what that looks like… I had a tag team match on SmackDown last Friday, and it was a lot of fun, but my neck was just wrecked.”

It is to be seen what is next for Bryan in the company following his loss to Reigns.

Reigns is having a great run since his heel turn last year. He went on to capture the title after his turn.

Another star, Apollo Crews faced similar fortune as he also won the Intercontinental Championship after his heel turn. Paul Heyman ‘Suing’ Top Smackdown Star?

Now, the Special Counsel to The Tribal Chief, Paul Heyman claims that it was because of Reigns’ words to Crews at the backstage was the reason he changed his persona.

He referred to the backstage segment on the January 15, 2021 episode of WWE SmackDown. He claims the valuable words of The Head of the Table to Crews helped him embraced his Nigerian roots.

During this week’s Talking Smack Paul Heyman spoke about Crews. He said:

“I take no credit, ladies and gentlemen, zero.I deserve no credit for the greatness and the success of Apollo Crews. That credit belongs to our Tribal Chief, the man that after all these years was the Champion to put down The Yes Movement… Roman Reigns.”

Apparently, Cesaro could be next in line to take a shot at the WWE Universal Championship.
