5 things WWE SmackDown got right before Royal Rumble: Roman Reigns targets Seth Rollins; Sasha Banks returns

#2. Big E and Kofi Kingston teamed up again on WWE SmackDown

Big E and Kofi Kingston got together for a match against Madcap Moss and Happy Corbin on WWE SmackDown. The heels got the better of Kingston and worked him over for some time.

Big E got the hot tag and exploded into the match. He took down the heels before they made a comeback. New Day took back control late in the match and delivered some excellent spots. They ended the contest with the Midnight Hour for the win.

It was great to see Kofi and Big E team up again after a long time. They worked like clockwork and gave fans something great on Friday night. Xavier Woods is out with an injury, and WWE could look to keep Kofi and Big E together to take New Day forward.

#1. Seth Rollins got the upper hand on WWE SmackDown

The Universal Champion Roman Reigns and his challenger Seth Rollins came face-to-face in an in-ring segment before WWE Royal Rumble. The latter took a shot at Reigns by bringing up their previous record.

From there, he brought up the chair shot that ended The Shield, to which The Tribal Chief's demeanor changed. Reigns brought up his hatred for Rollins for ending The Shield.

The Visionary got under Reigns' skin, after which The Head of the Table tried for the Superman Punch. Rollins evaded and laughed maniacally as the show came to an end.

No one has gotten to Reigns the way his former tag team partner has. The segment helped elevate the rivalry, and their match at Royal Rumble will be surely electric.
