Sami Zayn confirmed that he will be face to face with Roman Reigns on the next Monday Night RAW, which will take place on Monday. The announcement was made during Friday’s SmackDown, when Zayn said that he has a message for Reigns before Crown Jewel.
During the segment, the current Undisputed WWE Champion also sent a message to Penta, the Money in the Bank winner, asking him to focus his attention on Reigns’ World Heavyweight Championship instead of his title.
Zayn, however, ended up being interrupted by Trick Williams, with whom he argued again in the ring. The confrontation between the two happened after Zayn commented on his possible challengers and the match against Reigns.

As a point of interest ahead of the match in Saudi Arabia, Reigns has been defending his title without interference from The Bloodline, while Zayn has started using questionable tactics since he regained the Undisputed WWE Championship.
As previously reported, Reigns was already confirmed for next week’s RAW. Now, the meeting with Zayn will be the first between the two since WWE officially announced the match for the Men’s Crown Jewel Championship, set for Nov. 7.
Monday Night Raw will take place at Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California, with a live broadcast on Netflix in the United States, starting at 8 p.m. ET.
