-WWE Roadblock: End of the Line takes place on Sunday in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at PPG Paints Arena. The show is headlined by Kevin Owens vs. Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship, and Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte in an Iron Man match for the Raw Women’s Championship. It’s worth noting once again that Finn Balor continues to be advertised on the arena website even though he has not been mentioned on WWE television. Join me for live coverage beginning with the needlessly long Kickoff Show at 6CT/7ET. Jake Barnett and I will get together after the show to record the member exclusive audio review.
