All the original plans, there were some changes obviously because the Lesnar and Roman Reigns match from Saturday didn’t happen, but they’ve got their new twists and turns, and the final destination, which is presumably Lesnar and Roman Reigns, is still on," said Dave Meltzer.
Brock Lesnar has stated that he will be present on SmackDown this week. He will seemingly confront Roman Reigns after their match at Day 1 got nixed because of Reigns contracting COVID.
