Roman Reigns was rushed to the hospital following a violent assault during WWE Clash in Paris, making headlines worldwide. Just moments before this incident unfolded, Liv Morgan posted a notable message on social media, drawing attention amid the dramatic events surrounding the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
Events leading to Roman Reigns’ hospitalization at Paris La Défense Arena
Roman Reigns had just finished a grueling match against Bronson Reed at the Paris La Défense Arena, where the crowd watched as Reigns celebrated his victory. After the match, Reigns confronted Paul Heyman and recovered a stolen pair of sneakers from The Oracle—a theft that occurred earlier on RAW involving Bronson Reed. However, in a surprising backstage moment, a WWE staff member was seen cutting the laces off Reigns’ shoes, which prompted Liv Morgan to share a sharp comment online.
On X/Twitter, Liv Morgan sarcastically remarked on the staff member’s action, saying,
“Why Berkeley just cut that man’s laces like that,”
wrote Morgan.
Moments later, chaos unfolded as Reigns endured several punishing Tsunami moves delivered by Bronson Reed and Dolph Spears from Breakker. The brutal assault forced officials to carry Reigns out on a stretcher, and WWE authority figure Adam Pearce later confirmed that the champion had been hospitalized.
Meanwhile, Liv Morgan remains sidelined from WWE television due to a shoulder injury sustained during a singles match with Kairi Sane on the June 16 episode of Monday Night RAW. Given Reigns’ current condition, it appears he will join Morgan on the list of injured superstars unable to appear on-screen for the foreseeable future.
Roman Reigns reflects on lessons learned from Vince McMahon
Amid these developments, Roman Reigns recently shared insights about the guidance he received from former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon. In a conversation on the show What’s Your Story? with Steph McMahon, Reigns recalled important life lessons that extended beyond the ring.
Reigns explained,
“He would always tell me, and this is when I was so locked in at work that I wasn’t holding up my end on the other side. And he would just tell me, You’ve got to be present. When you go home, you have to be present. It doesn’t matter what you do out here. You have to be present. And I took that to heart so much (…) He’d always say, ‘You want to be ahead of the curve, but not too far’ (…) And in just so many different ways, and especially in business, that has just rang true.”
These words from McMahon highlight the balance Reigns strives to maintain between his demanding career and personal life.
Uncertain future for Roman Reigns and WWE storylines
Reigns was expected to accompany his cousin, Jey Uso, later in the Clash in Paris event, but his unexpected injury now casts doubt on his WWE television appearances in the near term. The severity of the attack by The Vision and the resulting hospitalization have left fans and WWE officials awaiting updates on Reigns’ recovery and when he might return to the ring.
Liv Morgan’s poignant message right before the incident, along with Reigns’ hospitalization, underscores a turbulent moment for WWE superstars both in and out of competition. The coming weeks will be crucial for the WWE Universe as they watch how these absences affect upcoming storylines and the overall roster dynamics.
