Roman Reigns returns to begin his Road to WrestleMania​

20231208_SD_Roman_Return_FC_Friday--331a673363838694a7e9e309b8f5132c.jpg

After overcoming Randy Orton, LA Knight and AJ Styles in a Fatal 4-Way Match at Royal Rumble, Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns makes his triumphant return to SmackDown to begin his Road to WrestleMania.

Standing supreme for more than 1,240 days, The Head of the Table has conquered the best in the business and seems all but unstoppable on The Island of Relevancy.

Moments after winning the Royal Rumble Match as well as during the press conference after the Premium Live Event, Cody Rhodes made it clear that he had every intention of challenging Reigns in an attempt to finally finish his story at The Showcase of the Immortals. His path hit an unexpected turn, though, when World Heavyweight Champion Seth "Freakin" Rollins confronted Rhodes on Raw and declared that he was the man that Rhodes needed to defeat for the "true championship" on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

How will Reigns respond to Rhodes and Rollins?

Bayley to declare who she will challenge at WrestleMania after Royal Rumble victory​

Just 48 hours after outlasting 29 other Superstars to win the Royal Rumble Match, Bayley came to Raw seemingly ready to declare which Women's Championship she would pursue at The Grandest Stage of Them All. While most believed that she would select Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley, considering that WWE Women's Champion IYO SKY is her ally in Damage CTRL, The Role Model had her announcement cut short when Nia Jax attacked the emerging Eradicator.

With Ripley laid out in the ring, Jax warned Bayley that The Eradicator won't even make it to WrestleMania. In response, Bayley explained that she plans on making her decision this Friday on the blue brand.

Logan Paul journeys to SmackDown following Royal Rumble controversy​

Moments after he got disqualified for using the brass knuckles that Logan Paul introduced during an intense United States Title Match at Royal Rumble, an irate Kevin Owens responded by powerbombing the arrogant titleholder through the announce table after the match.

This Friday, Logan is set to make his return to the blue brand after his controversial victory, and KO will likely be looking to get another piece of the outspoken titleholder.​

Respect to Cody for going over to SmackDown just to tell Roman face to face he's changed his mind and he's facing Seth instead :WOW

I have a crazy theory that they're gonna keep teasing this 3 way but it won't happen. Cody gonna say he wants both but they'll be like you only get one for winning the rumble so he decides to enter the Chamber for a shot at Seth but would hopefully lose that. I'd don't think him losing would hurt anything since most people don't want the 3 way, it'd just add some great drama before the chamber

- Will Cody Rhodes pick Seth Rollins or Roman Reigns tonight for his Wrestlemania 40 opponent for the world title?
- Will Bayley choose Rhea Ripley or Io Shirai tonight for her Wrestlemania 40 opponent for the world title?
- Is Logan Paul finished with Kevin Owens after their inconclusive finish at the Royal Rumble last Saturday?
- What is next for AJ Styles after being unceremoniously fed to the bore for the 3rd time in his WWE career?
- Will Randy Orton continue to RKO some more frauds tonight?

Find out on the next edition of Smackdown Live. Stay tuned :)
