WWE SmackDown Preview: 6-time champions tease a split, Roman Reigns crosses paths with Seth Rollins, subtle change in popular gimmick? (May 28th, 2021)

#2 Seth Rollins uses Cesaro to inch closer to Roman Reigns on WWE SmackDown

Cesaro has managed to irk both Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins

Last week on WWE SmackDown, Seth Rollins subjected Cesaro to yet another brutal attack. The Architect has been tormenting the latter for months and even brutalized him after the Universal Championship match at WrestleMania Backlash. Interestingly, this angle has allowed Rollins to cross paths with Roman Reigns on the Blue brand, and it can happen once again.

Previously on WWE SmackDown, we saw Rollins asking Reigns to keep his cousins in check. The latter made it clear that he manages his own business, but he likes that Rollins is taking care of Cesaro. There are many interesting possibilities for the creative team to explore if they involve both the former Shield brethren in a long-term story-telling.

Given that both these superstars are heels on WWE SmackDown, they could act out of mutual interest. However, even the slightest hint of a potential threat to Reigns’ supremacy will prompt The Tribal Chief to immediately lash out – even if it’s Seth Rollins. This might also be an excellent way to bring Rollins back into the Universal Championship picture.
