Roman Reigns will defend his Universal Championship against Daniel Bryan on next week's episode of Friday Night SmackDown on FOX.

However, if The Leader of the YES! Movement is unsuccessful in his latest bid to become the blue brand's World Champion, The Tribal Chief no longer wants to see the former WWE Champion on his show. This seems to suggest that the "loser leaves town" type stipulation would only apply to SmackDown, meaning Bryan could potentially find himself moving to Raw or possibly even NXT should he come up short against The Head of the Table.

It was also confirmed that new Intercontinental Champion Apollo Crews, fresh off of defeating Kevin Owens on this week's show, will put his belt on the line once again in seven days time. This encounter will be a WrestleMania rematch as Big E looks to regain the belt he lost thanks in no small part to an assist from the re-debuting Commander Azeez.

It's safe to say that next week's show is looking like a can't-miss affair already, but will it turn out to be the last Friday night stand for D-Bry?
