SummerSlam is right around the corner, and Roman Reigns is defending his undisputed WWE Universal Championship on a PLE after Wrestlemania. The Bloodline implosion made a way for Jey Uso to go head-to-head with the Tribal Chief for the third time; this time, the winner actually takes all.
It is rare to witness the Tribal Chief wrestle, especially at live events. But if the live event is special, WWE has to have their current biggest box office attraction on the show. With Reigns defending his title, fans spotted a sequence that is unlike the Head of the Table.

During the match, when Mysterio was on the top turnbuckle, Reigns proceeded to do a superplex, but kind of failed to do so. Of course, the sequence was for Mysterio to counter, but fans have taken a shot at Roman for sure regarding this.

Fans were left wondering: Reigns is much bigger and more muscular than Mysterio, but why canât he pick him up? Some fans even tried to suggest Reigns should head to Hollywood, as wrestling is not for him anymore. Nonetheless, the match went great, and Reigns successfully defended his title.
The first time after Wrestlemania, Roman defended his title against Rey Mysterio at a house show. It was on the same day that CM Punk made his iconic return to the AEW Collision. WWE had to bring the eyes of the wrestling fans to their product, and what better way to do that than to have Reigns wrestle a match?
