Roman Reigns' Clash In Paris Rival Looks Locked In On WWE RAW

Roman Reigns did not appear on WWE this week, but is slated for next week’s show.

Bronson Reed has taken the new ‘Tribal Thief’ moniker to a whole new level. After stealing the second pair of sneakers from Roman Reigns last week, Reed wore them both around his neck as a diss to the Ula Fala.

On RAW, he gave a promo sending Roman Reigns a message around the social media posts on being ‘school yard bullied’ and has no respect for the former Undisputed WWE Champion:

“I just want to take a moment to get something off my chest. I became a big star because I attacked Seth “Freakin” Rollins, and I earned his respect. So much so that he invited me into The Vision, but Roman Reigns, I don’t want your respect. I’m reading online and on social media that I ‘school yard bullied you’, and that’s accurate because I punked you out like a fifth grader in front of his school yard friends, not once but twice. And the only reason that hasn’t happened a third time is because you haven’t manned up to me for a third time, but when you do, Roman, I’m going to add to my collection, and I’m going to keep adding to my collection until you acknowledge your ‘Tribal Thief'” (00:02 – 1:06)

WWE RAW Seemingly Cemented The Foundation For Roman Reigns vs. Bronson Reed At Clash In Paris

Roman Reigns was absent from RAW this week. When Seth Rollins ran out to attack CM Punk in the main event, Jey Uso brought a chair with him to bring order to the chaos. A furious Adam Pearce announced a fatal four-way for Clash In Paris featuring Rollins, LA Knight, Jey Uso, and CM Punk.

The fans cheered for The OTC to rush in, but he was nowhere in sight. Roman Reigns is announced for an appearance on the red brand next week and will be present for the Premium Live Event in Paris towards the end of the month.

While Roman Reigns may not be involved in the World Heavyweight Title picture, he already has a target on his back, and that is Bronson Reed. If his message on RAW was not a clear indication, his previous actions, singling out Reigns, are testimony to that fact.

His scheduled appearance for RAW next week could result in a singles match with Bronson Reed at Clash in Paris. This does not disregard his issues with Bron Breakker. Given how WWE is pushing Breakker as the next big thing, their singles feud could be on the horizon later in the year.
