Paul Heyman has officially announced a WWE SummerSlam match featuring Roman Reigns and Jey Uso against Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. This bout was confirmed after Breakker and Reed have been dominating RAW, prompting Reigns and Uso to rise and confront them in a high-stakes showdown.
The challenge was set when the “OTC” (presumably a WWE character) posted a video on Instagram inviting Jey Uso to team up with Roman Reigns for the SummerSlam event. Although WWE itself has not formally commented, Heyman, who acts as spokesperson for Reigns’ faction, accepted the challenge emphatically, ensuring fans the match is finalized.
Paul Heyman Affirms Match Date Flexibility and Commitment
Speaking with TMZ, Heyman stressed that the exact day of the match—whether Saturday or Sunday at SummerSlam—is flexible, but the fight itself is inevitable. His statement left no doubt regarding the bout’s status and his confidence in his team’s readiness to face Breakker and Reed.
“My thoughts? Well, Roman Reigns has picked his poison. Now Roman Reigns can pick the date. Saturday or Sunday, it doesn’t matter to us. Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed accept the challenge of Roman Reigns and Jey Uso for SummerSlam. Welcome to my island of relevancy. And right over the bridge in New Jersey? We’ll leave them both buried next to Jimmy Hoffa. [So is this official?] Is it official? Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Hammond. If I say it, it’s biblical, b***hes.”

He doubled down on the statement via social media, declaring the match “biblical” and promoting the event as one of the biggest moments of the summer, set to take place at MetLife Stadium on August 2nd and 3rd.
Jey Uso Responds to Roman Reigns’ SummerSlam Proposal
Earlier in the day, Jey Uso accepted Roman Reigns’ invitation to partner with him against Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. Uso’s response came through an unusual video posted on Instagram that left many fans guessing whether he was inebriated, adding a mysterious tone to the announcement.
This teaming up signals a significant escalation in WWE’s ongoing storylines, especially since the original “OTC” figure was removed from action earlier in the year. The tag-team match at SummerSlam now promises to bring intense competition and a much-anticipated clash between these dominating stars.
Implications for WWE SummerSlam and Future Rivalries
The official confirmation of this tag match involving top competitors Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed heightens the stakes at SummerSlam, which is already considered one of WWE’s premier events. The announced bout sets the stage for possible shifts in alliances and dominance within RAW’s hierarchy.
Fans can expect a fierce contest that will showcase the power struggles in WWE as Reigns continues to assert his leadership, while Breakker and Reed aim to disrupt the status quo. The fallout from this match could influence storylines heading into WWE’s fall season, adding long-term narrative weight to the SummerSlam event.
