With Roman Reigns set to make a rare appearance, there has been a lot of speculation surrounding his role on the show.
Per WRKD Wrestling, Roman Reigns will continue to lose trust in the Usos, and choose to ‘take matters into his own hands’ for Night of Champions.
The Usos notably dropped their WWE Tag Team Championship to Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn at WrestleMania, and failed to win the gold back during their rematch on the April 28 edition of SmackDown.
It was also noted that several main roster debuts are planned for SmackDown, following the WWE Draft.
WRKD tweeted:
Preliminary plans for tonight’s #Smackdown includes:
– Main roster debuts for multiple drafted #WWENXT superstars
– Roman Reigns continuing to lose trust in The Usos and deciding to take matters into his own hands at Night of Champions
