Following his victory over Bronson Reed in the opening match of Sunday’s WWE Clash premium live event in Paris, Roman Reigns was aggressively attacked by Reed and Bron Breakker. The assault took place inside the Paris La Défense Arena, where Breakker initiated the attack by delivering a spear that led to a severe beatdown of Reigns.
Indie Wrestlers and Security Team Involved in the Segment
According to reporter Lucas Charpiot, indie wrestlers Kuro and Nate Prince played key roles by helping place Reigns on a stretcher during the aftermath of the attack. Additional support came from Ricky Sosa, Joseph French Jr., Calyspo, and indie referee Alex Schneider, who acted as the security team managing the scene.
Storyline Designed to Remove Reigns for Filming Commitments
This scripted attack was crafted to temporarily write Roman Reigns off WWE television, as he is set to begin filming the upcoming Street Fighter movie next week. He is expected to be away from WWE programming until filming concludes by late September.

Significance and Implications for WWE Programming
The attack on Roman Reigns enables WWE to adapt its storylines during his absence while maintaining tension around his character. As Reigns takes time off for his movie project, the involvement of indie wrestlers and a dedicated security team highlights WWE’s effort to add realism and depth to the segment. Fans can expect Reigns’s return once his shooting schedule wraps up near the end of September, potentially setting up new story arcs upon his comeback.
