Reigns & Bryan to face Corbin & Ziggler on WWE SmackDown
Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan will be teaming up on tonight’s episode of SmackDown.
Reigns & Bryan vs. Baron Corbin & Dolph Ziggler has been announced for tonight’s show. It comes after Reigns prevented Corbin from winning last week’s number one contender’s match.
Bryan defeated The Miz and Corbin last week and will challenge “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt for the Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble. Corbin appeared to have the match won due to interference by Dolph Ziggler, but Reigns attacked Corbin and they brawled to the back.
The storyline throughout the show last Friday was that Corbin refused to compete after being attacked by Reigns in the opening segment. A singles match between Bryan vs. Miz began, but it was interrupted by Corbin’s security. Corbin then decided to wrestle when he was told Reigns had been asked to leave the building.
The FedExForum in Memphis, Tennessee is hosting tonight’s SmackDown. Bayley & Sasha Banks vs. Lacey Evans & Dana Brooke vs. Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross is also set for the show.
