34-year-old Roman Reigns and Finn Balor joined a chat with Corey Graves on the latest edition of After The Bell podcast. Reigns heaped praise on King Corbin despite his ongoing tension with him. Recently, he posted a tweet in praise of all his SmackDown teammates but he didn't take King Corbin's name. He wrote that he can be eliminated and the rest of the team seems perfect. Despite his hatred for Corbin, he referred to Corbin as a big guy with good timing on the show with Graves.
Team #SmackDown has an Olympian ready for a fight, a Monster, among men, an athlete with a message, and #TheBigDog ready to break this 2-year loss streak for The Blue Brand.

Roman Reigns vs King Corbin
Corbin and Reigns have been involved in a few feuds in the past. These two have been feuding despite being on the same team (Team SmackDown) at Survivor Series. Corbin recently mocked the former Universal Champion by introducing the WWE Universe to a mascot in a dog attire. He introduced the mascot as ‘The Big Dog’ and Roman Reigns is usually referred with that name.
Which brand will reign supreme in an epic encounter between the #Raw, #SmackDown and #WWENXT Tag Team Champions at #SurvivorSeries?

In the podcast, Reigns also explained how effectively Corbin has made the transition to a hated heel. He said that ever since Corbin cut his hair off and became stupid and cocky, he's been successful.
