In a surprising twist during the recent episode of SmackDown, Roman Reigns delivered a bombshell announcement that left fans in awe. Rather than defending his prestigious Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, The Tribal Chief stunned everyone by unveiling his plan to join forces with Solo Sikoa. Together, they intend to take on the formidable duo of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn in a thrilling showdown for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship at Night of Champions. This unexpected alliance has ignited immense anticipation and speculation among wrestling enthusiasts.
The collision between Reigns, Sikoa, Owens, and Zayn in this unique encounter presents a captivating narrative, but it also sparks apprehension regarding Night of Champions’ departure from its customary format of showcasing a Universal Title match. Traditionally, WWE upholds the principle of defending all titles at the event, except for the exceptional circumstances caused by last year’s COVID-19 outbreak. By opting to pursue the Tag Team Titles, Reigns effectively removes his Universal Championship from the equation, deviating from the established norm and raising questions among fans and observers alike.

The unexpected deviation from the customary Night of Champions format is likely to surprise fans, particularly those eagerly anticipating Reigns’ defense of his world title on the momentous occasion of his 1,000th day as Universal Champion. However, the trajectory of Reigns’ storyline has taken an intriguing detour, redirecting its focus towards the highly competitive tag team division. This shift in narrative brings a fresh perspective to Reigns’ character and adds an element of unpredictability to the event.

Given the limited promotion of such a significant match just two weeks before Night of Champions, the chances of Reigns participating in two matches seem unlikely. Additionally, Reigns’ reduced schedule indicates that he may not be involved in multiple matches in Jeddah.

However, even without a Universal Title match, Night of Champions still holds the potential to deliver an exhilarating show for wrestling enthusiasts. The event is poised to offer captivating storylines and thrilling matchups that will undoubtedly capture the attention and excitement of fans.
