Roman Reigns Reacts To Royal Rumble WWE Title Match Announcement

WWE

Roman Reigns has now reacted to the announcement that he will defend his WWE Undisputed Universal Championship in a fourway bout at Royal Rumble 2024.

Randy Orton, LA Knight and AJ Styles faced off on the January 5 edition of SmackDown to determine the next challenger for Reigns’ gold.

This match ultimately didn’t have a victor, with Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso attacking all of the competitors, resulting in the match being thrown out.

SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis had the last laugh, giving Paul Heyman the task of informing Reigns that he will be defending his gold against Orton, Knight and Styles at the Royal Rumble premium live event.

While the show went off the air before Heyman could share this news with Reigns, WWE has now shared a digital exclusive video showing Reigns’ initial reaction to the news.

You can watch the full video below.

In the video, Paul Heyman informed Reigns of Nick Aldis’ decision just after he and Reigns returned backstage.

Reigns appeared to get angry, before snatching his WWE Undisputed Universal Title belt from Heyman.

The Tribal Chief then asked his Wise Man to fix the situation, before storming off.

Reigns most recently defended his gold at the November 4, 2023 Crown Jewel premium live event, defeating LA Knight in singles action.
