Malakai Black Aligns With Andrade El Idolo, The Coronation Of King Xavier | WWE/AEW Fight Size
Here is your post-WWE/AEW fight size update for Friday, October 22, 2021.
WWE SmackDown
– Roman Reigns opened SmackDown, questioning Paul Heyman’s loyalty. He then called out Brock Lesnar, who threatened to beat Roman senseless after the result of Crown Jewel’s Universal Championship Match.
Brock eventually came out and threw Roman all around ringside. The Usos came to help but The Beast disposed of them too. Lesnar proceeded to toss around officials, crew members, and other talents.
After order was restored, Adam Pearce announced that Lesnar was being suspended indefinitely. Brock didn’t take the news well, delivering two F5’s to the WWE Official.
