Roman Reigns finally took to the ring to address the challenges thrown at him by Daniel Bryan and Cesaro. Surprisingly, Reigns gave Bryan one last chance at the WWE Universal Championship in a match where the stakes couldn’t be higher.

After they insulted Reigns for most of the opening segment of SmackDown, Bryan and Cesaro waited for the “Head of the Table” to make his way to the ring at the end of the night. When he eventually stepped into the ring, “The Tribal Chief” immediately told Cesaro that he’s done nothing to earn a title shot. He also said that Cesaro will never be on his level, regardless of what he does or who he defeats. Reigns then stated that he’s the one who issues challenges before he turned to Bryan.
Reigns said that he’s never liked Bryan, and he never will, but the champion agreed to give him one more shot at the gold. Reigns declared that next week on SmackDown, Bryan will have his final chance, but if he loses, Bryan can never again show his face on SmackDown. Bryan accepted, and the two stars stared each other down to end the night.
If @WWEDanielBryan loses to @WWERomanReigns on #Smackdown next week, he will be BANISHED from #Smackdown?!?!
