Reigns, making use of the moment, sent out a message to both his Clash in Paris opponent, Bronson Reed, and his former ally, Paul Heyman. Reigns will not only fight for pride, but to reclaim his stolen sneakers and assert his dominance once again.
Roman Reigns kicked off the go-home edition of WWE Raw in Birmingham, England, with the crowd giving a grand welcome to the Tribal Chief. The fans erupted into a passionate chant of “Roman, Roman Reigns, Roman, Roman Reigns” as soon as Reigns stepped into the ring. The chant, which continued for nearly 30 seconds, reminding the world exactly who commands the WWE stage.

Reigns, making use of the moment, sent out a message to both his Clash in Paris opponent, Bronson Reed, and his former ally, Paul Heyman. Heyman and Reed interfered Reign’s speech with the Special Counsel, making a desperate attempt to sway the crowd, trying to start a chant of “Bronson, Bronson Reed.” But the Birmingham faithful doubled down on their support for Reigns with louder chants of his name.

Reigns and Heyman, once an iconic duo during the Bloodline era, found themselves on opposite ends once again. But even in their separation, it was clear that the crowd hadn’t forgotten Reigns’ dominance and neither had Heyman.
During his promo, Reigns touched on several names, including WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. However, even the mention of Rhodes stirred the crowd into a wave of boos. Reigns paused, amused, before simply muttering, “Interesting,” then continued with his remarks.

Reigns and Rhodes have a history of their own — two WrestleMania main events with split outcomes. Rhodes may currently hold the WWE Championship, but on this night, it was Reigns who held the crowd in the palm of his hand.
