Last year, WWE and UFC merged under the TKO umbrella, creating a major change in the world of sports entertainment. With this new partnership, UFC fighter Alex Pereira and Roman Reigns had an interesting exchange backstage at SmackDown this week.
UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Alex Pereira and Roman Reigns met backstage at the 8th November WWE SmackDown, where the two exchanged shirts, much like athletes do after NBA, NFL, or soccer games.
Alex Pereira and Roman Reigns would then shake each other’s hands and embrace each other as a sign of mutual respect and fans loved every single minute of it.
Pereira was shown front row during the WWE SmackDown broadcast where his accolades were pointed out on commentary. Regardless, we’ll have to wait and see if Roman Reigns will make an appearance at a UFC event in the future as well, as anything could happen.
