Universal Champion Roman Reigns emerged victorious in the battle of the Champions at Survivor Series. However, he had a little help from Jey Uso. “The Tribal Chief” once again proved his superiority over WWE Champion Drew McIntyre.

Now that the Champions’ feud is over, Roman Reigns does not have a rival to feud with. He inducted his last rival, Jey Uso, into his “tribe.” No one in SmackDown has stood up to him till now.

Although some people are naming Kevin Owens and Daniel Bryan as Reigns’ next opponent, the Champion might have dropped a huge hint about it already.

As Alex McCarthy of TalkSport pointed out, as Reigns speared McIntyre into the barricade, he shouted at Samoa Joe, “You’ve done seen this sh*t before, Joe!”

Joe was at the commentary table throughout the Pay-Per-View.
