Roman Reigns vs. Xavier Woods announced for WWE SmackDown

WWE has announced Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. King of the Ring Xavier Woods for this Friday’s SmackDown. A commercial for the match aired during today’s NFL broadcasts on Fox. 

Woods defeated Jimmy Uso on this past Friday’s SmackDown in a match where Woods would be forced to acknowledge Reigns if Woods lost, but Uso would be forced to bend the knee to Woods if Uso lost. 

Woods pinned Uso after rolling him up. After the match, Reigns, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso attacked Woods and Kofi Kingston. 

Woods will be a part of the SmackDown team in the traditional five-on-five match at Survivor Series on November 21, teaming with Drew McIntyre, Jeff Hardy, Sami Zayn and Happy Corbin against Team Raw’s Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, Kevin Owens, Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio. 

Reigns does not have a match announced for Survivor Series yet, but would face WWE Champion Big E in a non-title match if WWE continues with their tradition of having brand champions facing off at the November pay-per-view.
