Roman Reigns has been on quite the run as Universal Champion on WWE TV over the past year. He has remained undefeated since his return at SummerSlam last year.

The Tribal Chief defeated Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel on Thursday night and cut a promo on SmackDown. He listed the stars he had to "smash" in recent months, and surprisingly Daniel Bryan was one of the names.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Bryan opted to leave WWE earlier this year after losing a Loser leaves WWE match to Roman Reigns. The former World Champion is now performing for All Elite Wrestling and was considered a massive signing for the brand.

Given that Bryan departed WWE just a few months ago, it was a surprise that the company allowed Roman Reigns to use his name as part of the promo.
