The Undisputed Universal Champion was expected to be on the show as the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma previously advertised him as appearing.

In Roman's absence, Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa have aligned and are set to battle John Cena and LA Knight at WWE Fastlane. Jey Uso, on the other hand, has been traded to WWE Raw.

The updated card for WWE Fastlane can be seen here.

During tonight's episode of SmackDown, Jimmy Uso was seen complaining to Paul Heyman about Roman's absence and how nothing gets done because no one else is allowed to make decisions. Heyman was then pulled aside by Rhea Ripley for a private conversation.
