Randy Orton Challenges Roman Reigns To Undisputed WWE Universal Championship Match At WWE Royal Rumble

Randy Orton makes a major challenge to Roman Reigns. 

Roman Reigns returned to WWE SmackDown on December 15 and he was greeted For the first time this year by a familiar face in Randy Orton. 

Randy Orton said that all he’s been doing for the 18 months that he was away is thinking about Roman Reigns and laid down a challenge to Roman for a match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title. As expected, Roman Reigns told Randy to get in the back of the line because he doesn’t think Randy has earned a title shot. 

Randy teased hitting Roman with an RKO and made the champion flinch before saying that the voices in his head told him that Roman Reigns was scared.
