New Stipulation Added To Roman Reigns Vs. Riddle On WWE SmackDown

A new stipulation has been added to Friday’s WWE Universal Championship match between Roman Reigns and Riddle.

Tonight’s episode of Raw opened with Paul Heyman who was a special guest on Miz TV. During the segment, Riddle interrupted before he could continue.



Heyman laid out the stipulation: if Riddle doesn’t beat Reigns on Friday, he won’t receive another title shot as long as Reigns is the champion.

Riddle won the championship match last week on SmackDown by defeating Sami Zayn. The stipulation for that match was that if Riddle won, he would receive a championship match against Reigns, but if he lost, he would be barred from SmackDown.

Reigns has not defended the WWE Universal Championship on television since defeating Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38 to unify the WWE and Universal Titles. His last on-air match was a six-man tag team match at WrestleMania Backlash, where he and The Usos defeated Drew McIntyre, Riddle, and Randy Orton.
