Roman Reigns – Bronson Reed Brawl
Roman said I’m not the same man I used to be. Cody predicted a year and a half ago and the Vision followed through with it in that they took everything from me. I have to acknowledge that things aren’t the same. I don’t have all the things I used to have and I don’t have a Bloodline.
I’m extremely proud of Jey Uso. Anybody questioning him being in the Fatal Four Way Match in Paris is wrong. He won our match. He scored the pinfall. He’s the one who has the rematch clause, so he’s the one who should be fighting for the championship. My time will come.
Reigns continued saying they took the Bloodline. They took the Wise Man. They took the titles. Then they had to find something to take from me which brings us to Bronson Reed. This brought out Paul Heyman and Reed. He said Reed pointed out that it was five years ago this week that Brock Lesnar’s advocate became Roman’s Reign’s Wise Man. We created a Bloodline for five years and changed this industry together. Now you stand all alone in the ring by yourself.
Heyman said, I love you my Tribal Chief. I loved you five years ago and I love you now which is why I came out here to disrespect you out of love. What you need is the tough love like I used to give you. I can’t beat that tough love into you, but Reed can.
Reigns said I’m going to kick your ass in Paris. Reed said I’m the Samoan your dad and uncle warned you about, and at Clash in Paris, you’re going to find out why. Reigns told him to come to the ring, return his shoes, and acknowledge me. Reed said I’m not coming down there because you would have to acknowledge your Tribal Thief. Reigns said then I’m coming up there.
They charged at each other in the middle of the aisle and brawled into the ring. Security came in to break it up to no avail. Reed tried to steal Roman’s shoes again. Reed went to the top rope to deliver a Tsunami but Reigns got back up and delivered a Superman punch. They continued to brawl as they went to the commercial break.
Backstage:Â
Finn Balor and JD McDonagh saw Dominik Mysterio talking to El Grande Americano. Balor asked Mysterio what is this all about? Dominik said everything is under control and not to worry about it. I will catch up with you later.
Dragon Lee vs JD McDonagh (w/Finn Balor)
Balor tried to interfere in the match but was stopped when the referee saw him and ejected him from ringside. Lee went to hit the ropes but Dominik tripped him up when the referee wasn’t looking. Styles hopped the guardrail and chased him to the back. Lee hit McDonagh with a flying elbow and the Operation Dragon to score the pinfall.
Winner: Dragon Lee
Backstage:
LA Knight asked if CM Punk did to him last week and accident or was it on purpose? It looked like he had time to stop and not crash into me sending me through the table. Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt. What did he do after that? He shrugged his shoulders. There’s only one man that’s going to win the Fatal Four Way match for the World Heavyweight Championship at Clash in Paris and that’s me, and tonight I will defeat Bron Breakker.
Pre-taped interview:
Rusev said he will defeat Sheamus at Clash in Paris
Backstage:
Balor questioned Dominik about what happened in Balor’s match earlier in the show. Dominik told Balor that you know Styles, so you go take care of him. McDonagh told Balor he will go to ringside with him. Balor said to stay in the back as he can handle this himself.
Penta vs Kofi Kingston (w/Xavier Woods & Grayson Waller)
Penta dove over the top rope onto Woods and Kingston. He threw Kofi back into the ring. Penta went to the second rope and was distracted by Waller allowing Kofi to trip Penta off the ropes. Kofi then delivered the Trouble in Paradise on Penta and pinned him.
Winner: Kofi Kingston
Backstage:
IYO SKY thanked Rhea Ripley for having her back last week. She said I respect you, but Kairi and Asuka are my family. They are not happy about you getting involved in our business, so need to keep our distance for a while.
Asuka and Kairi walked by in the background and saw IYO and Ripley talking. Ripley told IYO I respect you too. If this is something you have to do, I get it. It’s okay. IYO thanked her for understanding and they hugged. Asuka and Kairi in the background looked upset at what they saw.
Backstage:
Adam Pearce told Stephanie Vaquer that you’re still the number one contender, but with Naomi out, that match at Clash in Paris can’t happen. You will have your championship match. I already have an opponent in mind. I just need a week to finalize some details. Give me a week and I’ll let you know who you’re facing and when the championship match will be. Stephanie said, I understand.
Becky Lynch – Nikki Bella confrontation
Nikki Bella said Becky should give her a title match. Becky said you don’t call the shots. I’m not just going to give you a title match. I never wanted to respect you. I wanted to replace you and I’ve done a pretty good job. Nikki called Becky a coward. Becky said I’m not a coward and you can have your match at Clash in Paris. Becky went to kick Nikki but Nikki blocked it and punched her. Nikki blocked the Manhandle Slam. Becky avoided the Rack Attack 2.0 and left the ring.
Backstage:
CM Punk said he realizes at Clash in Paris it is every man for himself but I was just trying to get everybody on the same page. LA Knight didn’t want to play ball. Jey wanted to do it his way. Seth Rollins is the problem. He has the numbers. I was just trying to make sure we all got there to get that opportunity. LA Knight thinks I purposely put him through a table last week. Well, you’re wrong about that. Do I care that he fell through a table because he’s a clumsy idiot? Absolutely not. I’m obsessed with holding the World Heavyweight title because I had it in my hands and it was ripped from me by Rollins. At Clash in Paris, if I have to cripple all three of them, I will.
Pre-taped interview:
Sheamus said these fights with Rusev made him relevant again and said he will defeat him at Clash in Paris.
Rhea Ripley vs Roxanne Perez (w/Raquel Rodriguez)
Ripley hit the Riptide on Perez and pinned her. After the match, Rodriquez jumped in the ring and attacked Ripley. As the two on one attack continued, IYO SKY ran into the ring to make the save as they cleared the ring of Perez and Rodriquez. Ripley and IYO hugged afterwards.
Winner: Rhea Ripley
Backstage:
Seth Rollins told Bronson Reed that he will destroy Roman Reigns at Clash in Paris. He told Bron Breakker that tonight, you’re going to make sure he doesn’t even make it to Paris. This is the vision we dreamed about and it is on the verge of becoming so much more.
Backstage:
Rhea Ripley told IYO SKY so much for keeping your distance. IYO said I owed you for what you did last week. Ripley said you don’t owe me anything. She thanked her. After Ripley walked away, Asuka and Kairi Sane confronted IYO. Asuka warned her to stop talking to her and walked away. IYO told Kairi to trust her. Kairi left crying saying she’s sorry.
AJ Styles vs Finn Balor
Balor dropkicked Styles into the corner. Styles moved out of the way of the Coup de Grace. Styles hit the Styles Clash on Balor and pinned him.
Winner: AJ Styles
Backstage:
Jey Uso told Roman Reigns that I have to keep an eye on The Vision every week. LA Knight and CM Punk are beefing. I don’t know who to trust. I have the 4-Way at the Clash in Paris. I’m trying to be World Heavyweight Champion again. Reigns told him I feel you but the last thing you ever want to do is trust CM Punk. You’ve helped everybody, now win that title for you. Take it to your house. It’s not about being one of the boys or making friends. It’s about capturing these moments and locking in our legacy.
Pre-tape
Bayley again struggled with the voices in her head.

Dominik told Pearce that something needs to be done about AJ Styles. Pearce agreed and said you can have a match with him next week on RAW for the Intercontinental Title.
Roman Reigns threw Bron Breakker into the equipment box and gave Bronson Reed a Superman punch before officials held him back. Pearce told Breakker he has a match and to go to the ring. At that point, LA Knight jumped Breakker and fought with him from the back to the ring.
