WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns opened tonight’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown alongside Paul Heyman. Roman is coming off of defeating Jey Uso at Clash of Champions to retain the Universal Title. Roman invited Jey to the ring and still wanted Jey to verbally acknowledge him as “The Tribal Chief”. After both men cut their respective promos, Roman then offered Jey another shot at the Universal Championship at the Hell In A Cell pay-per-view on October 25th. Jey Uso accepted the challenge as Roman was making his way out from camera’s view.
