There has been a lot of conversation lately regarding WWE's new ban on 'leg slaps'. As per Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, a big SmackDown wrestler is responsible for this ban. According to the report, the undisclosed wrestler performed a sloppy thigh/leg slap which led Vince McMahon to become irate.

"The WWE boss immediately called for leg slapping to be banned, and the company also put up signs at a recent show that read, "Do not slap leg when kicking."

"Leg slapping" is natural for many superstars whose move-sets consist of superkicks. It was noted that Jey Uso did perform a leg slap during his steel cage match against Daniel Bryan, and he might be the superstar in question.

Roman Reigns will be taking on SmackDown Superstar Daniel Bryan for the Universal Championship at Fastlane. The winner of this match will go on to face the Royal Rumble winner Edge at WrestleMania.

Though Bryan has done a tremendous job of building himself up as a serious challenger to Reigns' throne on SmackDown, he will most likely not be victorious at Fastlane. As per Dave Meltzer of WON, Reigns is penciled in to face Edge for WrestleMania 37 and not Bryan.

"Roman Reigns or Daniel Bryan (i.e. Roman Reigns) vs. Edge for the Universal title."

Edge will be serving as the special ringside enforcer for the match between Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan, so it will be interesting to see if The Ultimate Opportunist costs Bryan the match at Fastlane.
