Roman Reigns Officially Listed as Babyface, Set to Appear on WWE SmackDown – Following WWE SummerSlam, PWInsider reports that Roman Reigns and Damian Priest have both been internally listed as babyfaces for their respective brands. This marks a significant shift for both superstars, given their previous alignments.
During SummerSlam, Damian Priest faced GUNTHER in a match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The match ended with GUNTHER retaining the title after Finn Bálor interfered, placing GUNTHER’s leg on the bottom rope to prevent a pinfall. This distraction allowed GUNTHER to capitalize, ultimately defeating Priest with a powerbomb and a rear-naked choke. Priest’s frustration with Bálor’s interference might have contributed to his face turn.
In the main event, Cody Rhodes defended his Undisputed WWE Championship against Solo Sikoa in a Bloodline Rules Match. The match saw interference from various members of The Bloodline, including Kevin Owens, Randy Orton, and a returning Roman Reigns. Reigns shocked the WWE Universe by hitting Solo with a Superman Punch and a Spear, allowing Rhodes to secure the win with a Cross Rhodes. Reigns’ actions suggest a shift in his character, aligning more as a face, especially with his upcoming appearance on SmackDown in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which WWE has officially advertised.
These developments are set to have significant implications for WWE storylines moving forward, particularly with the evolving dynamics within The Bloodline and Judgment Day factions.
