#1 Roman Reigns sends Braun Strowman packing from SmackDown

A clear win
A clear win

Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman are perhaps each other's best career rivals. It's a shame that Braun Strowman won't be sticking around on SmackDown to renew his feud with Roman Reigns because they have always had good chemistry and The Big Dog's new character on SmackDown would have made for a great dynamic.

Either way, the finish was a bit surprising since it wasn't a Superman Punch or a Spear that saw Reigns emerge victorious on SmackDown. It was an adjusted Guillotine from Roman Reigns that made Braun Strowman submit and the referee had to call the match as a result. We've never seen Roman Reigns successfully win a match by submission, so it was a unique addition to his already-solid arsenal.

Roman Reigns sent Braun Strowman packing from SmackDown to RAW and he would teach Jey Uso a lesson when his cousin tried to attack him. What lies ahead for Roman Reign as we're only a few days away from WWE Hell in a Cell 2020? Will Roman Reigns brutalize Jey Uso yet again?
