The next step for Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman
With WWE Raw Underground scrapped, Braun Strowman will most probably find himself in the storyline involving Keith Lee.
Coming to Roman Reigns, the assumption is that he will hold on to the Universal Title for a while. He is gearing up to put the title on the line at Hell in a Cell where the challenger is none other than his cousin, Jey Uso.
