5 things WWE told us indirectly on SmackDown Live (April 16, 2019)

#1 Reigns feud with Elias?

When AJ Styles was announced as the newest addition of the WWE RAW brand, many began expecting that Roman Reigns might just shift to SmackDown. After all, a void as huge as AJ Styles could only be filled with a Superstar of similar stature in terms of reputation.

So when Vince McMahon called out Elias and he started insulting the Montreal crowd, Roman Reigns’ music hit and a huge pop reverberated the arena.

Ever since returning after putting his leukemia back in remission, Reigns has been receiving huge cheers whenever he arrives. It was no different on SmackDown tonight as he not only punched Vince McMahon but also speared Elias.

Does this mean that there is going to be a feud between the two? It would certainly be a huge boost for Elias as he would finally be pitted against a Superstar with such a huge reputation, giving him the necessary push.
