Roman Reigns Acknowledgment Ceremony Set for RAW Tonight
Roman Reigns is set to receive an Acknowledgment Ceremony on the May 12 episode of Monday Night RAW, following his successful World Heavyweight Championship defense against Jacob Fatu at WWE Backlash on May 9 in Tampa, Florida. RAW General Manager Adam Pearce announced the segment on social media.
Pearce also confirmed that Jacob Fatu will appear on the show. The announcement comes after Reigns told Fatu "This is your last night here" following their Backlash main event, setting up potential confrontation when the two share the same building again.
WWE has confirmed another Oba Femi Open Challenge for the May 12 episode as the dominant champion continues his run through challengers. The Street Profits and Joe Hendry will team up to face Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, and Austin Theory in six-man tag action.
Brie Bella and Paige are also scheduled to appear on RAW to address recent issues involving Judgment Day. The segment marks a continuation of storylines involving the veteran wrestlers and the faction.
Reigns has held the World Heavyweight Championship for 21 days after defeating CM Punk at WrestleMania 42 Night 2 on April 19 in Paradise, Nevada. His defense against Fatu at Backlash marked his first title defense since winning the championship.
