It was recently announced that Roman Reigns vs. Elias is now official for next month’s WWE Money In The Bank PPV Event. Reigns vs. Elias was made official by Shane McMahon on last night’s episode of SmackDown LIVE after Elias sang the challenge to Reigns in a backstage segment. The show opened up with a segment that saw Shane & Elias beat Reigns down with a double team attack. It appears that there is a new alliance between Elias & McMahon.
