San Juan Crowd Chants 'We Want Roman' During Six-Man Tag Team Match At WWE Backlash

During tonight's WWE Premium Live Event, Backlash, the Puerto Rican crowd made it clear that they wanted to see absentee Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. During the six-man tag team match between The Bloodline and Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens and Matt Riddle, the crowd could audibly be heard chanting, "We want Roman."

Even without their "Tribal Chief," The Usos and Solo Sikoa won their match, though there were a few issues between the brothers. Since Zayn left The Bloodline and The Usos lost their titles, it has been teased a few times that they are going to break up. During the six-man tag team match, Jey Uso blamed Zayn for everything bad that is happening to The Bloodline. 

While Reigns wasn't on tonight's card, it was announced that he will be returning to WWE TV on next Friday's episode of "WWE SmackDown." In the 2023 WWE draft, Reigns was drafted to "SmackDown." His last "SmackDown" match was on the December 30, 2022, episode, where he and Zayn lost to John Cena and Owens, while he last stepped into the ring in the main event of Night 2 of WrestleMania 39, where he retained his title against Rhodes.

Reigns was supposed to wrestle on the April 3 episode of "WWE Raw," but the match never happened due to Brock Lesnar attacking Rhodes before the match even started. Lesnar and Rhodes met in the ring tonight where "The American Nightmare" got the win, and it was the first time that the two faced each other in a singles match.
