Roman Reigns is preparing to return at WWE Crown Jewel, scheduled for October 11 in Australia, and the identity of his opponent has reportedly been revealed. The latest information suggests that Reigns will face Bronson Reed in what could be a significant matchup for the event.
Reigns made a strong comeback on Monday Night RAW last week, resuming his aggressive presence immediately. During the main event, a Tornado Tag Team Match featured Bronson Reed and Bronson Breakker against The Usos, with Reigns intervening to support his cousins.
As The Vision team appeared dominant, Roman Reigns disrupted their momentum by taking out both Breakker and Reed, ensuring a victory for The Usos. However, the situation quickly turned tense after the bout.
The OTC retaliated fiercely, assaulting Reigns with multiple chair shots to the abdomen. This confrontation suggested a possible future encounter between Reigns and an OTC member, but current reports indicate a shift in plans.
According to Dave Meltzer of F4Wonline.com, WWE’s internal schedule now lists Roman Reigns facing Bronson Reed as the final match of Crown Jewel 2024, to be held at the RAC Arena in Perth, Australia.

WWE Crown Jewel’s Compelling Match Card Comes Together
Under the guidance of Triple H, WWE has assembled a strong lineup for this year’s Crown Jewel, featuring several high-profile contests to be held at the RAC Arena. Fans can expect intense action across multiple championship bouts and special encounters.
One of the headline matches pits champion Cody Rhodes against Seth Rollins in a champion-versus-champion clash, with the Crown Jewel Championship on the line. This battle is anticipated to produce high stakes drama and showcase two of WWE’s top talents.
The women’s division will also be showcased prominently as Tiffany Stratton faces Stephanie Vaquer for the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship. This bout promises to deliver an exciting contest for the title and adds depth to the event’s card.
Adding local flavor, Australian star Rhea Ripley will make a welcomed return to her home country. Teaming with IYO SKY, Ripley will challenge The Kabuki Warriors in a tag team match, highlighting talent from across the globe and bringing extra energy to the Perth crowd.
Elsewhere, WWE legend John Cena will compete against AJ Styles in what is billed as their final encounter, creating anticipation for a memorable showdown between two wrestling icons.
Roman Reigns’ matchup with Bronson Reed marks a rematch of sorts, following their recent bout at Clash in Paris on August 31. While Reigns emerged victorious there, Reed will surely aim to reverse the outcome on home soil.
With these matches set, WWE Crown Jewel is shaping up to be a must-see event, blending established rivalries and fresh confrontations that should captivate wrestling fans worldwide.
