WWE SmackDown: Roman Reigns defeats Bobby Roode

Last week, the Bog Dog opened the show by calling out King Corbin and blaming him for almost ruining their Survivor Series match. Corbin, who was scheduled to fight Roman Reigns, came in and withdrew his name from the match. Instead, he sent Robert Roode to fight Roman Reigns in the night's opening match. The match started and Reigns took the early lead by punishing Roode, but a well-timed distraction caused the match to shift in Bobby Roode’s favour. The Glorious One controlled the match and was seen delivering a DDT.
