During a recent interview, Paul Heyman shared Roman Reigns' intentions to improve WWE SmackDown every week. Wiseman Heyman asserted that his Tribal Chief's next goal is to make the show better than ever.
"The next goal for Roman Reigns is clear, and that is to be better tomorrow than he is today," said Heyman. "His goal is to be better in two weeks than he is next week, to make next week's SmackDown better than this week, and to make the SmackDown that airs in three weeks better than it is in two weeks."
Roman Reigns was one of two champions from WWE SmackDown to pick up a victory at Survivor Series pay-per-view. The blue brand suffered a crushing defeat in the battle for brand supremacy, losing 2-5 to RAW. The Universal Champion is now determined to raise standards on the blue brand, starting tonight.
