Dutch Mantell claimed that Roman Reigns being absent for the majority of SmackDown was a good decision
In the aftermath of this week's SmackDown, Dutch Mantell claimed that the decision to keep Roman Reigns absent from SmackDown until the last minute was good on WWE's behalf.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, he also commented on Sami Zayn's brief faceoff with Kevin Owens and believes that it's a setup.
"When I saw Sami Zayn go head-to-head with Kevin, it's the setup. I think we may see the turn of Sami Zayn out of this. It'll be a perfect setup for it and they set it up well. We didn't see Roman till the entire show, which was good."
KO IS HERE!
