Roman Reigns also successfully retained his WWE Universal Championship against Cesaro in the main event of WrestleMania Backlash. Roman Reigns was scheduled to defend his WWE Universal Championship against Rey Mysterio at the WWE Hell In A Cell pay-per-view. However, that match was shifted to this week’s episode of Friday Night Smackdown.
Roman Reigns would successfully defend his WWE Universal Championship against Rey Mysterio on this week’s episode of Friday Night Smackdown as well. He decimated Rey Mysterio and shattered his dreams of winning the title.
According to a report by Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE has no plans for Roman Reigns at the WWE Hell In A Cell pay-per-view.
“I was told on Thursday when it all came down that Roman is not on the Sunday pay-per-view, that’s what I was told. So, I know that it wasn’t another match for Roman so I figured maybe it was Rey and Dominik vs the Usos so they could do another match for the Usos where the Usos go over, and I was told today ‘that’s not it either.’ It was not an angle situation where they’re going to do some Friday angles on Sunday it was the Sunday match was moved to Friday and they did exactly what they were going to do on Sunday, but they wanted more eyeballs on it, and that’s the basic answer.”
