Bryan & Rowan ‘demanding apology’ from Reigns on SmackDown
WWE is hyping that Daniel Bryan and Erick Rowan are “demanding an apology” from Roman Reigns on tonight’s SmackDown.
The segment comes after last week’s show ended with a cliffhanger. Bryan & Rowan said they had been conducting their own investigation into the attacks on Reigns and would reveal the “real culprit” last Tuesday. At the end of the episode, they revealed the culprit to be someone who looks like Rowan.
Reigns tweeted after last week’s reveal: “Y’all call that an answer? This whole situation is getting out of control and I don’t know what to think….but I know what I need to do.”
Tonight’s SmackDown is taking place at the Raising Cane’s River Center Arena in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It will also feature the two remaining first-round matches in the King of the Ring tournament. Ali is facing Buddy Murphy, and Chad Gable is taking on Shelton Benjamin.
The winner of Ali vs. Murphy will face Elias in the quarterfinals. The winner of Gable vs. Benjamin will face Andrade.
