Last year, when Roman Reigns inked a fresh WWE contract, he secured a significant pay increase and successfully negotiated a reduction in his WWE schedule, primarily focusing on TV appearances and select PLE (Pay-Per-View Live Events) engagements.
The Bloodline feud intensified dramatically at Night of Champions, where Reigns and Solo Sikoa experienced defeat at the hands of Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens in their quest for the prestigious Undisputed WWE Tag Team Titles. This setback occurred precisely when Jimmy Uso, betraying "The Tribal Chief," made a shocking turn. Later, at Money in the Bank, The Usos triumphed over Reigns and Sikoa in the intense Bloodline Civil War, resulting in Reigns' first pinfall loss since December 2020.
WWE has already made an official announcement that Reigns will put his title on the line against Jey Uso at the upcoming SummerSlam event in a highly-anticipated Tribal Combat Match.
In an unusual occurrence, Reigns made a rare appearance at a WWE house show held in Mexico City, Mexico, last Saturday night. In the marquee match, he emerged victorious against Rey Mysterio, albeit with the unwelcome intervention of NXT North American Champion, Dominik Mysterio.
