The Bloodline Celebrate Roman Reigns’ Historic Reign, Kofi Kingston Bout Set For 1/21 WWE SmackDown
8 nights out from the Royal Rumble, The Bloodline prepare to acknowledge him.
Tonight’s SmackDown begins to take shape as Roman Reigns prepares to defend his gold against Seth Rollins at the Royal Rumble, and WWE has announced that The Usos and Roman will celebrate Roman’s historic run with the WWE Universal Title on the January 21 SmackDown.
The Bloodline acknowledge Roman Reigns’ record-setting Universal Championship reign
The Head of the Table, the needle mover, the longest-reigning Universal Champion in WWE history. Roman Reigns believes it is long past time the WWE Universe acknowledges him and his historic run as the leader of The Island of Relevancy on Friday nights.
Tonight, The Bloodline acknowledge and celebrate Reigns for his record-breaking 508 days as the Universal Champion. After making his return at SummerSlam 2020, Reigns claimed the Universal Title for a second time the following month at WWE Payback in a grueling No Holds Barred Triple Threat Match and has since gone on to vanquish all who stood in his path, including WWE legends Edge, John Cena and Brock Lesnar.
Reigns surpassed The Beast’s previous record of 503 days from 2017-2018, which came to an end at the hands of none other than The Head of The Table, with Lesnar and Reigns standing as the only two WWE Superstars to hold the Universal Championship for more than 500 days.
Tune in to Friday night SmackDown at 8/7 C on FOX to see what festivities The Bloodline have in store for the historic celebration.
Also, Kofi Kingston will take on Madcap Moss in singles competition. Both men will enter the 2022 Men’s Royal Rumble.
Kofi Kingston looks to get the last laugh in rematch with Madcap Moss
Kofi Kingston isn’t smiling after Madcap Moss pulled a fast one to earn a victory over the former WWE Champion last Friday night.
Happy Corbin and his sidekick ruined Kingston’s proclamation about entering the Royal Rumble Match, prompting the showdown between the two Superstars. When it looked like Kingston would hit Trouble in Paradise for the win, Moss pulled out some funny business by raking his hands across Kingston’s eyes to set up the Punchline.
Now “The Hand of the King” will once again take up arms to banish the two jesters from the kingdom, but can he defeat the pranksters in their rematch, or will Moss have the last laugh?
Catch all the action tonight on SmackDown at 8/7 C on FOX!
