A Victory Despite Pain: Reigns Defeats Jey Uso in Tribal Combat, Working Through Early Injury
WWE Superstar Roman Reigns showcased his resilience and determination during the main event of SummerSlam, working through an injury he sustained early in the match. Reigns faced his cousin Jey Uso in a grueling tribal combat that lasted more than 35 minutes, ending with Reigns spearing Jey through a table and securing the victory.
The match took an unexpected turn when Jimmy Uso turned against his twin brother, just as it appeared that Jey was about to win. Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that Reigns got hurt early in the match, though the exact nature of the injury is unknown.
Despite the injury, Reigns continued to fight, displaying his commitment to the match and his title. He is set to appear on SmackDown this Friday night for a “Hail to the Chief” segment, which should provide an explanation for Jimmy Uso’s betrayal.
Reigns’ undisputed WWE Universal Championship and his title of Tribal Chief were both on the line at SummerSlam. The details of his next title defense are unclear, but his performance at SummerSlam has undoubtedly solidified his reputation as a true warrior in the ring.
