Last week Roman Reigns made his big return at the SummerSlam pay-per-view when he attacked Braun Strowman and Bray Wyatt after Wyatt won the Universal Championship in the main event.
The Big Dog wasted no time inserting himself back into the title picture, and it was later announced that he will be challenging for the Universal Championship when he faces Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman in a triple threat No Holds Barred pay-per-view at Payback.
During Friday’s episode of SmackDown Roman was presented with the contract for the title match, and Paul Heyman was shown sitting by his side backstage.
It was recently reported that WWE is planning for Roman Reigns to be the top heel on the SmackDown brand, and it seems that he’s aligned himself with Paul Heyman.
Roman made his first comments since aligning himself with Heyman when he posted the following on Twitter:
“Been waiting on this for a long time. Here we go!!”

Reigns also commented on the passing of Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman.
Hero on screen and even more so in real life. A very talented and inspiring young man went way to early. Love, prayers and support go out to the Boseman family. https://t.co/NouzrcFlBz
