They are expected to have a new segment tonight.
Roman Reigns will face Brock Lesnar
Roman Reigns will face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38 as Lesnar announced on Raw. The former UFC fighter won the Royal Rumble 2022 and will use his situation to try to get revenge on Roman who cost him the WWE title match against Bobby Lashley.
The Usos have new applicants
Jey and Jimmy Uso already know their next rivals for the SmackDown tag team titles. The two brothers will face The Vikings Experience in Elimination Chamber who won a qualifying match a few weeks ago. The Vikings want to regain the importance they had in the past, so this rivalry just a few months after Wrestlemania seems essential.
