Roman Reigns celebrates 1,000 days as champion​

It is a milestone in a sea of amazing milestones. Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns has reached 1,000 days as champion with a run that includes epic victories over the likes of Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Edge, Drew McIntyre, Kevin Owens, Jey Uso, Sami Zayn and more.

The leader of The Bloodline is truly in God Mode, and it is time for the WWE Universe to acknowledge his dominance on The Island of Relevancy.

The coveted Money in the Bank contract will give one victorious male and one victorious female Superstar a World Title Match anytime they wish in the next year. With so much on the line, The LWO’s Zelina Vega, who recently took SmackDown Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley to the limit in a title match at WWE Backlash, will battle a returning Lacey Evans as part of one in a series of Qualifying Matches in the coming weeks on Raw and SmackDown.

Montez and Knight facing each other screams bad booking to me cause you could’ve easily put both men in MITB

But who knows…maybe they’ll do a last chance Battle Royal that the loser wins

 

[Y2Jayne]

I keep forgetting Lacey is around, Trips seems ro have given up on her. I definitely see Zelina winning this.
