Slice Wrestling also reports that an internal list of Friday Night SmackDown roster names handed to WWE by FOX executives includes Roman Reigns.

Currently, The Big Dog is technically a SmackDown Live Superstar, but with the Wildcard Rule in effect, he has been appearing on virtually every RAW and SmackDown broadcast since the rule's inception.

Despite WWE keeping Roman Reigns out of the main event and top title picture since he returned from his battle with leukemia, The Big Dog remains one of the company's top stars, and FOX Sports no doubt recognizes that and wants Reigns on the blue brand going forward.

With Reigns recently landing the cover of WWE 2K20 alongside Becky Lynch and remaining a high profile player in WWE, FOX likely wants Reigns on SmackDown as he has also been used heavily in advertising for the show's move to FOX Sports

We do know that Reigns will be on hand for the big premiere episode of SmackDown next week, as that will be an "all hands on deck" show, but beyond that, Reigns' brand future remains uncertain. Should The Big Dog land on SmackDown permanently, it would certainly help give the show a boost of star power.
