Roman Reigns medically cleared to return to SmackDown

Roman Reigns has been medically cleared and is set to return at tomorrow's Friday Night SmackDown.

The Universal Champion was unable to compete at WWE Day 1 after testing positive for COVID. His slated opponent Brock Lesnar was added to the WWE Championship Fatal 5-Way Match and went on to capture the title. On this week's Raw, Lesnar warned Reigns that he was heading to the blue brand this week.

What will be in store when this explosive confrontation goes down tomorrow night?​

Feel like Brock has had more of a screen presence in general lately. He's been on a lot of weekly shows. It's great to see.

Now, King Woods and “The Hand of the King,” Sir Kofi Kingston will get another opportunity at gold. Don’t miss a moment of the what’s certain to be an explosive SmackDown Tag Team Title showdown between the longstanding adversaries, tonight at 8/7 C on SmackDown on FOX.

The physical power of Rick Boogs battles the brain power of The Master Strategist, Sami Zayn​

After emerging victorious in a “12 Days of Christmas” 12-Man Gauntlet Match to win the opportunity to challenge Shinsuke Nakamura for the Intercontinental Championship, Sami Zayn will now test the waters when he battles The King of Strong Style’s friend, the rocking powerhouse Rick Boogs.​

How many New Day/Usos matches have we had the last month

And Sami better win

 

[Hoss]

From what I can tell this will be the 17th meeting between the New Day vs. Usos, counting TV and PPV, and not counting multi-man tags and matches involving 3 or more teams.

 

[Hoss]

Only the 7th with this particular New Day combo though
