WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns has defeated Daniel Bryan to retain his title. By per the match stipulation, Bryan is now “gone” from the SmackDown roster. This was done in order to give Bryan some time off to spend with his family and decide on his future with WWE (in general). Reigns gave Bryan a Conchairto while Jey Uso held Cesaro back to end the show.

It's time for what may be the biggest main event in #SmackDown history.
