When WWE brought its SmackDown edition to Barcelona on March 14, it was quite a show. The corporation delighted those fans in Spain, but we had spoilers throughout the presentation because it went down hours before the USA Network broadcast. Next week, the Tribal Chief will make a comeback to SmackDown in Bologna, Italy.

Roman Reigns participation in the 'Road to WrestleMania' Tour in Europe, which began with the 3/21 broadcast of Friday night SmackDown, was first revealed by WWE last month and has now been formally confirmed. WWE RAW's March 10 broadcast featured Roman Reigns' triumphant comeback. He disrupted the cage fight between Seth Rollins and CM Punk.

Paul Heyman made a significant statement on SmackDown this week. He said that because he is featured on the cover of the WWE 2K25 video game, which is being released today, it is officially Roman Reigns Day everywhere. The Wise Man then pointed out that Roman Reigns' appearance on the cover of the WWE 2K25 video game is controversial for certain individuals. Fans in Barcelona chanted for the Second City Saint after he said that CM Punk was one of those individuals.

WWE to have massive extravaganza to SmackDown 

According to Paul Heyman, this is neither CM Punk's nor Seth Rollins' day. Rollins' song began to be sung by fans, and Heyman acknowledged that he detests it. Heyman used that to introduce his discussion of Roman Reigns' appearance on SmackDown the following week.

The audience booed when it was announced that Roman Reigns would not be appearing on SmackDown this evening. Heyman then informed the audience that they must attend the next Reigns show in Bologna, Italy. He concluded by stating that this was a spoiler and not a forecast, so it was quite a section. 

The WWE is bringing a massive extravaganza to SmackDown next week. Zelina Vega will compete against Piper Niven, and Liv Morgan will face Jade Cargill. Additionally, as their bitter rivalry continues, Braun Strowman will face Jacob Fatu.
