Top SmackDown Backstage Rumors: Real reason Bray Wyatt was stripped of the Universal Championship; 3-time WWE Champion to be sent to RAW; Update on Reigns/Heyman partnership (4th Septemeber)

#4 SmackDown Superstar Roman Reigns could be heading to RAW

Tom Colohue stated on his SK's Dropkick DiSKcussions that he believes there is a strong chance that there will be a brand change between the Universal and WWE Champions. With rumors suggesting that SmackDown star Roman Reigns is set to hold the Universal Championship for a long time, it is possible that we may see The Big Dog leave SmackDown and return to Monday Night RAW.

WWE has no plans for these former AEW wrestlers? Here's why!

Colohue also stated that Roman Reigns will likely not have a match inside Hell in a Cell this year. The plan is for The Fiend to have a long-term feud with Roman Reigns but the two might not clash at HIAC this year.

"The plan at the moment is to have a long Championship reign - Brock Lesnar style - with a few more Championship defences. He will be defending the title at Clash of Champions, likely against The Fiend. And after that, The Fiend becomes the long-term goal. The Fiend becomes the chaser. He's not going to be feuding with anyone inside the Hell in a Cell, that will be going to someone else. I strongly suspect that we're going to see a brand change between the WWE and Universal Championships."
