WWE has brought back past pay-per-view themes for NXT for years, whether that be No Mercy, Halloween Havoc, Great American Bash, and more.
The theme
WWE is doing so yet again, but this time, the company will be doing it on the main roster for SmackDown. WWE is giving the talent and crew off next week for Christmas and taped the December 22nd episode in advance.
During the taping, AJ Styles, Randy Orton, and LA Knight came out to make their case to face Roman Reigns. A triple threat match was booked for the New Year’s Revolution episode of WWE SmackDown, where the winner would face Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble.
