Roman Reigns began the latest episode of RAW in Dallas, Texas, only to be quickly confronted by familiar rivals Bronson Reed and Paul Heyman. This encounter set the stage for a major rematch, as it was officially announced that Reigns will face Bronson Reed at Crown Jewel 2025 in a highly anticipated Street Fight.
Background of the Rivalry and Previous Clash
On RAW, before Roman Reigns could speak, Bronson Reed and Paul Heyman interrupted him. Their rivalry dates back to Clash in Paris 2025, where Reigns secured a hard-fought victory over Reed. However, after that match, while Reigns was celebrating with the crowd, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed ambushed him, leading to Reigns being stretchered out of the arena. This moment has fueled tension between the two competitors ever since.
During the confrontation on RAW, Bronson Reed taunted Roman Reigns by referencing his family legacy. Reed insisted that Reigns’ uncle and father, Afa and Sika, never suffered such an injury in their combined 45 years of wrestling, making it a pointed insult toward Reigns’ toughness and heritage. Reigns, known as The Oracle, responded by accepting the challenge, confirming that his rematch with Bronson Reed at Crown Jewel 2025 will be an Australian Street Fight.
Escalation Before Crown Jewel 2025
The two men’s confrontation escalated into a fierce brawl, requiring security to intervene and separate them. The tension remains high heading into Crown Jewel, with Reigns determined to maintain his dominance. Despite the animosity, it was Reigns who ended the encounter on RAW by gaining the upper hand over his opponent.
The outcome of the upcoming Australian Street Fight remains uncertain, leaving fans eager to see if Reed can reverse his previous defeat or if Reigns will solidify his reign. It’s important to note that the term “Australian Street Fight” is mostly a branding distinction, as the match mirrors a traditional street fight with no disqualifications and few restrictions, emphasizing brutal and unrestricted combat.
Implications of the Match and What to Expect
The rematch between Roman Reigns and Bronson Reed at Crown Jewel 2025 promises to be one of the most intense bouts of the event given their heated history and the high stakes involved. With the added intensity of the street fight stipulation, both competitors are likely to push their limits, making it a must-watch for fans of hard-hitting professional wrestling matches. This confrontation will not only test Reigns’ resilience and legacy but also reveal if Bronson Reed can rise and claim a significant victory on this prominent stage.
