Roman Reigns will return on the June 17 episode of WWE SmackDown.
On the June 10 episode, Riddle faced “The Honorary Uce” Sami Zayn in a high-stakes match. With a win, “The Original Bro” would earn a shot at Reigns. But if he lost, he’d be barred from SmackDown. In the end, Riddle emerged victorious as he pinned Zayn. As a result, he’ll challenge Reigns for the gold on the June 17 episode. This bout will mark Reigns’ first televised defense of the titles since he unified the gold at WrestleMania 38 and his first match on WWE TV since WrestleMania Backlash.
