Roman Reigns has been added to the main event at WWE Clash in Paris, which takes place tonight at the Paris La Défense Arena in Nanterre, France. This event marks WWE‘s first premium live show in the French capital, with Reigns expanding his role beyond an initial confrontation with Bronson Reed.
Expanded Role for Roman Reigns in Paris
Initially set to face Bronson Reed, Roman Reigns will now accompany his cousin Jey Uso in the event’s headline match. The Fatal 4-Way for the World Heavyweight Championship features Jey Uso, Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins, CM Punk, and LA Knight. Uso is aiming to regain the title he lost two months after his WrestleMania 41 victory.
On the final Monday Night RAW before the event, Reigns spoke about being left out of the title match. He highlighted that Uso secured the decisive pinfall in their SummerSlam tag team win against Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker. Reigns expressed pride in Jey’s independence following his departure from The Bloodline faction.
Reigns encouraged Uso to prioritize championship success over friendships by focusing on significant achievements. Michael Cole, WWE’s longtime commentator, confirmed Reigns’ presence alongside Uso in the main event, increasing the stakes for the French crowd.
Heavyweight Title Stakes and Event Expectations
The Clash in Paris card boasts strong matchups, positioning it as a potential standout among WWE’s premium live events this year. Jey Uso’s chance to reclaim the World Heavyweight Championship is a critical storyline, especially with Reigns supporting him. Such an outcome would likely energize the audience and add significance to the event’s historic location in Paris.
Roman Reigns’ involvement not only amplifies the main event’s intensity but also reinforces The Tribal Chief’s ongoing influence in WWE’s major title picture, setting the stage for further developments after Clash in Paris.
