After achieving major success with his duties on Friday Night Smackdown, Roman Reigns will now reportedly be WWE Raw bound. It appears that the top WWE Superstar will be having a massive presence on Monday Night Raw as WWE prepares for the show’s highly anticipated shift on Netflix in early January.
Since the beginning of The Tribal Chief persona in the WWE, Roman has dominated Friday Night SmackDown for years, but he’s now expected to shift much of his attention to WWE Raw in the early half of next year. As such, frequent appearances are expected on his part to promote more WWE content on the red brand’s new home.
