WWE Superstar Bronson Reed has openly challenged Roman Reigns, intensifying their rivalry ahead of their scheduled match at the Clash in Paris Premium Live Event on August 31, 2025. This confrontation marks the continuation of a tense feud with the member of the One True Champion (OTC) faction, with Reed asserting himself as a dominant force against Reigns.
Reigns has recently focused on dismantling The Vision, including teaming with his cousin Jey Uso to defeat Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker at SummerSlam 2025. Now, Reigns and Reed are set to meet one-on-one in what promises to be a high-stakes singles contest during the Paris event.
Reed Challenges Reigns by Labeling Him a Part-Timer
In the lead-up to the event, WWE’s official social media shared footage of Bronson Reed delivering a sharp rebuke to Roman Reigns, accusing him of being a part-time competitor. Reed emphasized that while The Vision was creating chaos, Roman Reigns was absent, before warning that he is ready to seize Reigns’ place at Clash in Paris.
“Where’s that part timer, huh? I’m here. Bron’s here. The Vision is taking over. Roman Reigns ain’t here, but his shoes are. We have a date in Paris and ‘The Thief’ is coming,” he said.
Adam Pearce Confirms Official Match Announcement for Clash in Paris
The rivalry took another significant turn during the latest WWE RAW episode, where Roman Reigns crushed The Vision to aid Jey Uso in defeating Bron Breakker. The broadcast concluded with Reigns sending a clear warning to Bronson Reed. Immediately afterward, RAW General Manager Adam Pearce declared the match between Roman Reigns and Bronson Reed official for Clash in Paris.
“If you have paid attention at all, you’ve seen how things have gone down between Roman Reigns and ‘Big’ Bronson Reed. In fact, Bronson said it himself: every time he’s in the same place at the same time as the OTC, he leaves the man lying and takes his shoes. Where I’m from, that’s disrespect. We’re gonna find out if that disrespect continues at Clash in Paris. Because it will be ‘Big’ Bronson Reed one-on-one with Roman Reigns,” Pearce said.
