A tag team bout has been added to Friday's SmackDown as WWE announced Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns will team up to take on King Corbin & Dolph Ziggler.
Reigns has been at odds with Corbin & Ziggler for months as the latter duo have tried to humiliate Reigns at every turn. Last Friday, Reigns interfered in the number one contender's triple threat match, costing Corbin his chance at challenging 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt for the WWE Universal Championship at WWE Royal Rumble. The bout was won by Bryan, who defeated The Miz.
Seeing as how the final SmackDown of 2019 marked the passage of time, perhaps it was somehow fitting that Roman Reigns spent most of the episode clocking King Corbin.
First, The Big Dog launched an attack on the outspoken monarch at the top of the show that effectively delayed the scheduled Triple Threat Match between his adversary, Daniel Bryan and The Miz to determine Universal Champion “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt’s opponent at Royal Rumble. Then, in the main event, he destroyed Corbin’s chances at that opportunity outright by naturalizing him mid-contest.As a result, King Corbin & Dolph Ziggler will be out for royal revenge when they go head-to-head against Reigns and the Superstar who won the Triple Threat Match, Daniel Bryan.
Don’t miss the all-out slugfest, tonight at 8/7 C on FOX.
A women's triple threat tag team bout was previously announced for SmackDown.
Fightful will have live coverage of WWE SmackDown beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
