Sami Zayn is heading to WWE Raw with a message for Roman Reigns, and he wants to deliver it face to face.

The Undisputed WWE Champion confirmed during Friday’s SmackDown that he will appear on Monday’s show ahead of their Crown Jewel clash. Their meeting adds another chapter to a rivalry shaped by their history in The Bloodline.

Zayn and World Heavyweight Champion Reigns will face each other in Saudi Arabia on November 7 to decide the ceremonial men’s Crown Jewel Champion for 2026.

Speaking on SmackDown, Zayn explained why he was saving his thoughts for Raw.

“In a few short weeks, it looks like it’s going to be the WWE Champion Sami Zayn versus the World Champion Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel,” Zayn said. “And there’s a lot that I could say about that, but I’m going to wait until Monday Night Raw to say it to Roman Reigns to his face, out of respect.”

Monday’s October 19 episode takes place at Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California. Zayn was already advertised to defend his Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes in a non-televised match at the event.

Zayn previously spoke positively about revisiting his rivalry with Reigns, saying last month that there was room for some “incredible” storytelling before their match. He also praised Reigns’ character work, suggesting it has become even stronger since their previous encounter.

Joe Hendry versus JD McDonagh is also announced for Monday’s Raw.
