Reigns-Rollins segment, Lita return set for WWE SmackDown

WWE has made a few announcements for tonight’s episode of SmackDown.

Former Shield stablemates Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins will take part in a face-to-face segment tonight. Reigns is defending his Universal Championship against Rollins at the Royal Rumble on Saturday, January 29.

Last Friday, there was an angle where Adam Pearce had to decide Reigns’ Royal Rumble challenger before the end of the show. At the end of the night, Reigns received a knock at his door. It was revealed to be Rollins, who laughed hysterically as Reigns looked befuddled.

Rollins is a member of the Raw roster. He defeated Big E this Monday.

It’s also been announced that WWE Hall of Famer Lita will make her return to SmackDown tonight. It will be her first SmackDown appearance in nearly 20 years.

Lita is one of 19 wrestlers who has already been confirmed for this year’s women’s Royal Rumble match.

Aliyah and Natalya are two of the other wrestlers who have been confirmed for the women’s Rumble. They’ll face off in a singles match tonight. It will be Aliyah’s first singles match on SmackDown since being called up from NXT and the first time she’s wrestled since November.

Plus, Sami Zayn will host the premiere of his new stunt show “InZayn” tonight. WWE is hyping that Zayn has promised to “out-‘Jackass'” Johnny Knoxville after the “Jackass” star threw him out of the ring last week. Knoxville will be an entrant in this year’s men’s Royal Rumble match.

Tonight’s SmackDown is being held at the CHI Health Center Arena in Omaha, Nebraska.
