SmackDown’s Roman Reigns will be on hand when Raw comes to Long Island, New York next month.
The UBS Arena has announced that Reigns will be appearing at the Monday, November 29 edition of Raw in Long Island. Whether Reigns will be appearing on television or just for the live crowd remains to be seen.
The episode will be WWE’s first show at UBS Arena. The venue is opening on Saturday, November 20 and is home to the NHL’s New York Islanders.
Reigns was SmackDown’s first overall pick during night one of this year’s WWE Draft. He’s set to defend his Universal Championship against Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia later this month.
The Long Island Raw episode is taking place eight days after the Barclays Center in Brooklyn hosts Survivor Series. If Reigns retains the Universal Championship at Crown Jewel, he’ll face the WWE Champion in a non-title match at Survivor Series.
On Wednesday, December 8, AEW will make its UBS Arena debut with a live Dynamite episode and Rampage tapings.
