It’s no surprise that after his big WrestleMania 37 win, it was Roman Reigns who kicked off SmackDown, and once he got to the ring with Paul Heyman and Jey Uso, he had a lot to say. He started by addressing who he hit on the show’s shows saying, “We watched SmackDown Paul a lot. So for the new viewer, why not tell them about the men I hit in the main event at WrestleMania for The Championship. ” Paul then shared how Reigns defeated Edge and Daniel Bryan, both multiple champions and future Hall of Famers.
And I took a page from your playbook. I estimate Ruthed it. I called my shot. And then they acknowledge me, ”said Reigns. And let’s face it, it’s embarrassing. They will probably never put me in a triple threat match again because of what I did. Nobody wants me to do that to them. These are Hall of Famers. Destroyed them. Stack them up. They tied 1, 2, 3, and then these Hall of Famers acknowledge me to the whole damn world. Who wants that now? No one. Nobody wants to risk their reputation for this. Nobody is on my level. “
“So we’ve done my duty. We started my show SmackDown. Pual, kick the Jet and get ready to go,” said Reigns.
It was then that Cesaro’s music struck and the Swiss Superman came out with a smile on his face. He went straight to Reigns and watched his Championship, then asked for a microphone. Reigns then started to walk out of the ring and Cesaro was left alone in the ring. Cesaro was disrespected, and he looked irritated but determined.
