“The Big Dog” has a new home as the former WWE and Universal Champion is now on the blue brand. Roman Reigns made his presence shown tonight during tonight’s episode of SmackDown Live by joining the roster.
It all began as Vince McMahon promised a big change to SmackDown and that they had secured the largest talent acquisition in company history. He called him “the future of SmackDown” and the future of the entire WWE. After getting a drumroll, he unveiled … Elias. The crowd was disappointed but Elias decided to perform for them anyhow.
And #SDLive's biggest acquisition is…. @IAmEliasWWE!

This was when none other than Roman Reigns came out. He delivered a great superman punch to Elias and then was berated by Vince McMahon. He then punched him and said, “I don’t care what he says. SmackDown Live is my yard now.”
