Roman Reigns made his first singles match appearance in over six months at WWE Clash in Paris, where he faced Bronson Reed for the first time ever. Reigns secured a victory by pinning Reed, but the aftermath took a brutal turn as Bron Breakker launched a spear through a table, igniting a fierce attack. Both Breakker and Reed joined forces to overpower Reigns in the ring, leaving him vulnerable after a devastating series of strikes.
Following repeated and forceful hits by Reed, Reigns was stretchered out of the arena. WWE commentator Michael Cole later revealed that the former Undisputed WWE Champion had sustained multiple fractured ribs, which will keep him sidelined for an unspecified time. The WWE Universe is left anticipating what will unfold once Roman Reigns returns to competition, given the severity of his injuries and the rising tensions inside the WWE roster.
Potential Alliances and Rivalries Await Reigns’ Return to WWE
Although there is no confirmed timetable for Reigns’ comeback, expectations are high for a much-anticipated match against Seth Rollins, his long-time rival and former Shield teammate. However, Rollins now boasts strong allies, including Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Becky Lynch, creating a formidable faction. To counterbalance this alliance, Roman Reigns is rumored to re-enter the ring accompanied by a new manager, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, which could reshape the dynamic of these rivalries.
The possible addition of Rikishi might also prompt the reformation of The Usos alongside Reigns, building on the strength of the OG Bloodline to face the trio challenging them. This storyline presents a dramatic opportunity for WWE to intensify rivalries, introducing Rikishi, who at 59 years old could thrill fans with a surprising return to the action. Only time will reveal WWE’s direction in developing these characters and feuds.
