Undisputed WWE Universal Championship Bout Set For 6/17 WWE SmackDown

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.

The official preview, courtesy of WWE’s website, is as follows:

On the June 10 edition of SmackDown, unofficial member of The Bloodline Sami Zayn went one-on-one against Riddle in SmackDown’s main event. If Riddle lost that contest, he would been barred from the blue brand forever. When he won, however, Riddle earned a Bro-tastic opportunity at Roman Reigns’ Undisputed WWE Universal Title!

Don’t miss with Riddle looks for vengeance and Undisputed Championship gold in his highly anticipated showdown against The Head of the Table next Friday at 8/7 C on SmackDown FOX!

Riddle and Reigns have been feuding since The Usos dethroned RK-Bro and The Bloodline beat down the duo after the match. The assault put Randy Orton on the shelf, and Riddle has made it his mission to avenge his partner.
