WWE SummerSlam 2025: Roman Reigns & Jey Uso Dominate Opening Match

If you missed WWE SummerSlam 2025, not only did you skip out on some grade-A blood feuds, but you also deprived yourself of Roman Reigns and Jey Uso stealing the show in what can only be described as “chaotic brilliance.” And yes, there were spears. There are always spears.

Explosive Showdown: Roman Reigns & Jey Uso vs. Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed Heats Up WWE

Okay, let’s set the stage. MetLife Stadium in New Jersey was packed (because why wouldn’t it be), and the first match for Night 1 of SummerSlam was nothing short of a grudge match. Reigns and Uso, still buzzing from Heyman’s betrayal months prior, were up against “Mr. Smug with the Sneakers” Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker, Paul Heyman’s new squad of heavy hitters. Spoiler alert? The Bloodline got the last word.

Roman Reigns & Jey Uso vs. Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed — Where Sneakers Meet SmackTalk

Back on Raw, Reed literally stole Roman Reigns‘ sneakers during a post-match beatdown because nothing screams disrespect like lifting a man’s Jordans. The audacity, right? Naturally, Reed couldn’t resist flaunting them at SummerSlam, draping the sneakers around his neck as he sauntered down the ramp. Reigns’ face during all this? Priceless rage. That singular moment set the tone for a match brimming with bad blood and backyard-barbecue-level drama.

The Match Itself: Trading Blow for Blow

Once the bell rang, chaos ensued as expected. Uso started strong, but Bron Breakker proved why he’s WWE’s new powerhouse by slamming Jey with a Gorilla Press Gutbuster that had fans gasping like they’d just watched the Titanic sink. Somehow, Jey survived the three-count, because “Uso resilience” is now an official part of WWE lore.

Reigns? He spent what felt like an eternity pacing outside the ropes before finally tagging in, transforming from sidelined dad energy into a devastating Superman Punch factory. Highlights? Reigns speared Breakker THROUGH the barricade without batting an eyelid. The guy turned up late, but when he DID show up? Absolute carnage.

And just for the goosebumps, Reigns pulled the ultimate teammate move and ate a massive spear from Breakker to protect Jey. That’s family loyalty for you. (Also? Go ahead and rewatch that moment. You won’t regret it.)

Jey brought it home, hitting a Uso Splash that could have shattered souls, pinning Reed for the win. Take that, “sneaker thief”!

What’s Next? WWE’s Chessboard Keeps Shifting

Here’s where it gets spicy. Reigns may have settled this feud, but the tribal chief still has some Seth Rollins-related unfinished business. There are rumors swirling of a potential Rollins vs. Reigns showdown down the line, complete with surprise Money in the Bank antics. And honestly, Rollins lurking around with that briefcase at SummerSlam was too suspicious for it to just be a coincidence.

Jey Uso, now riding the high of this victory, has eyes on reclaiming the World Heavyweight Championship from Gunther, who’s busy fending off CM Punk on Night 2. Will Jey step up next? Probably. Should Gunther start looking over his shoulder? Also, yes.

On the other side of things, Reed and Breakker are probably in the Locker Room of Shame giving Heyman side-eyes for hyping them up so much only to lead them to defeat. Could this set the stage for Breakker vs. Reigns down the line? Well, we all know WWE fans are dying for that match-up. Someone poke “The Oracle” Heyman to make it happen, stat.

 

Final Thoughts

WWE SummerSlam 2025 has begun, and it promised to be nothing short of an adrenaline spike for all wrestling fans. Between the Bloodline’s revenge saga and mounting tensions with Rollins, Reed, and Breakker, the storylines here feel like a simmering pot ready to explode.

If you thought Night 1 was intense, Night 2 might just take it up another tier. Don’t blink, folks. SummerSlam is pulling all the stops this year.

Now, someone hand Roman back his shoes.
