Randy has officially moved to SmackDown Live. Before delving into its implications, I want to commend how they showcased the entire show last Friday. The dramatic clash between general managers Adam Pearce (Raw) and Nick Aldis (SmackDown) in their efforts to secure Randy for their brands was very interesting. Adam tempted him with a world heavyweight championship shot, yet Randy's true priority emerged—he's more interested in addressing issues, particularly with the Bloodline.
For those not following, Randy's intense anger towards the Bloodline stems from an injury they inflicted on him months ago, sidelining him for an extended period. This vendetta serves as a revenge mission, driven by the goal of curbing the chaos caused by the Bloodline for everyone's benefit. Adding some drama, as Randy contemplated which brand to join, the wise man Paul Heyman showed up and injected taunting speeches into the mix. In the midst of this, Solo and Jimmy launched an attack. The Mega star LA Knight came to Randy's defense, resulting in a victorious stand against the bloodline. Randy formally signed the SmackDown contract, solidifying his place on that brand.
Well, his opening and closing statements delivered a clear message to The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns. Addressing Paul, he declared, "You can call Roman Reigns and tell him Daddy's Home." The crowd erupted into chants, signaling what lies ahead—Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton for the Universal Heavyweight Championship. While the match is still pending official confirmation, anticipation is high, and it's expected to be a lucrative draw.
We've witnessed Randy vs. Roman before, but not with Roman in the role of the Head of the Table, only as the Big Dog. This adds a new dimension to the matchup. My prediction? Roman Reigns will likely retain the belt, aided by his entire Bloodline family, as he often does. Despite Randy's current form, I'm skeptical that him defeating the Tribal Chief aligns with the idea of "What's best for business." Expectations lean towards the usual, with the status quo prevailing.
Who do you think could break Roman's long streak and claim the Universal Championship? Or is this simply a temporary waste of time, a buildup for a major match at Wrestlemania next year, with Roman still in the spotlight as the main-eventer?
