Why Bron Breakker vs. Roman Reigns Was Held Back From WWE SummerSlam, Setting Up WrestleMania Showdown

Published:

Roman Reigns is scheduled to be part of the main event at WWE SummerSlam next weekend, but instead of a one-on-one match, he will compete in a tag team match, surprising many fans. Bron Breakker, who spearheaded Reigns in April and caused his months-long absence, is involved in this encounter, alongside Bronson Reed and Jey Uso as additional participants.

This unexpected tag team setup comes as Reigns and Breakker have been linked since Reigns’ recent return, yet their anticipated singles match has been delayed.

Planning a High-Stakes WrestleMania Encounter

The delay of a direct confrontation between Bron Breakker and Roman Reigns is reportedly strategic, as the match is being saved for a marquee WrestleMania event. According to reports from Viper, WWE views this potential clash as a significant future main event, which explains why it was not included on the SummerSlam card.

There is still uncertainty about whether the rivalry will continue in the coming months leading up to WrestleMania 42, but the company appears to be building anticipation for their showdown on wrestling’s biggest stage.

Bron Breakker’s Rising Star and Family Legacy

Bron Breakker is a talent that WWE is heavily investing in, with the added spotlight of being the son of a Hall of Famer. Despite this lineage, Breakker has chosen not to use his family name in his wrestling persona, helping him establish his own identity. His swift rise and physical presence have made him a formidable figure in the promotion.

Roman Reigns’ Career Timeline and Future Match Prospects

Having been a fixture in multiple WrestleMania main events, Roman Reigns acknowledges that his career at the top may be winding down. Scheduling a high-profile match with Breakker soon is crucial if WWE intends to capitalize on their rivalry.

Reigns is expected to take another break from wrestling to film his role as Akuma in the upcoming live-action Street Fighter movie. This break could be written into storylines by having Reigns lose at SummerSlam, allowing the company to pause his character before reigniting the feud at WrestleMania 42 when he returns.
