Amid the hottest period in recent company history, WWE will head to Detroit’s Ford Field for SummerSlam on Saturday night.
This new boom period has largely been driven by Roman Reigns and the Bloodline story. The latest chapter in the saga will play out as Reigns defends his undisputed WWE universal championship against Jey Uso in Tribal Combat at SummerSlam. It’s an anything goes match where Reigns’s title of Tribal Chief is on the line.
Reigns retaining against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 39 was a controversial decision. But four months later, it’s looking like it might have actually been the correct one. The Bloodline civil war has helped carry WWE through this summer. Fed up with Reigns’s mistreatment, Jey and Jimmy Uso turned against their cousin and left The Bloodline. With the story refocusing on Reigns and Solo Sikoa battling The Usos, it’s once again the best thing in all of professional wrestling. That likely isn’t going to change anytime soon. No matter what happens Saturday, Reigns will be fighting his family members for the foreseeable future. Jey, Jimmy and Sikoa are all viable challengers to Reigns’s crown.
