After he appeared on this week episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown to stare down Roman Reigns, Big E will get his wish of a match against “The Tribal Chief.” The two champions will collide in a six-man tag team bout Monday night on WWE RAW.
As confirmed on Friday’s episode of SmackDown, Big E will team up with his New Day partners, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods to face off against The Bloodline, the trio of Reigns and the Usos.

The match was booked after Big E got in Reigns’ face on Friday before “The Powerhouse of Positivity” and Finn Balor defeated the Usos. Later in the night, the Usos got their revenge by ambushing Big E backstage and beating him down.
Even with Big E back on RAW next week alongside his brothers in the New Day, it’ll still be a tall task to take down the Bloodline. The trio of Reigns and the Usos have run roughshod over the WWE for the better part of a year, so the New Day will have to be on top of their game in order to come away with a win.
Additionally, WWE announced two more matches for the card. Sheamus will face Jeff Hardy after “The Celtic Warrior” attacked Hardy on RAW last week. Plus, Nataya and Tamina will defend the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship against Rhea Ripley and Nikki A.S.H.
