Tonight’s SmackDown main event was the much-anticipated throwdown between Universal Champion Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan, which was not only a match for the title but also for the right to be on SmackDown. If Bryan lost the match, he would have to leave the Blue Brand, and such a big match deserved something fresh and special, which is what we got when Roman Reigns debuted his new entrance music. Reigns has had the same music ever since The Shield broke up, but now he’s finally got his own sound, and fans seem to really like it on social media.
It didn’t take long for reactions to come pouring in, and while there are a few negative ones here and there, the majority of reactions were incredibly positive.
