WWE Announces Roman Reigns' First Title Defense Since WrestleMania

Roman Reigns has been the champion for over 1,000 days and to commemorate that on a recent SmackDown, Triple H gave the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion a new belt. The primary complaint of Roman's reign, especially of overdue, on the other hand, has been that Roman Reigns does not protect his championship. He wasn't at Backlash, at Night of Champions he competed for the Undisputed Tag Team Championship, and at Money within the Bank it's having a look increasingly more like Roman and Solo Sikoa vs The Usos. It may well be until SummerSlam in August that Reigns defends his championship again.

Surprisingly though, WWE and Cincinnati's Heritage Bank Center have announced Roman's next defense, and it is coming a lot quicker, as in this Saturday, June 17. Unfortunately, it is not a televised defense, as Reigns is set to tackle none instead of Rey Mysterio in the principle tournament of a live match from Cincinnati. The enthusiasts in attendance will not handiest get to look Reigns, however a supershow of mixed Raw and SmackDown stars, in spite of WWE's strengthened brand break up within the draft. World Champion Seth Rollins might be there, together with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, Raw stars Gunther and Matt Riddle, and SmackDown stars The Usos.

This Won't Be The First Time Rey Mysterio Has Challenged Roman Reigns

Rey Mysterio is having one of the crucial perfect years of his profession at the age of 48. Not only did he change into a WWE Hall of Famer, but he had a stellar feud together with his son, Dominik Mysterio, and become part of the reinvented fan favorite faction, the LWO. This would possibly not be the first time Mysterio has challenged Roman Reigns all the way through his title run. Almost two years ago to the date, on June 20, 2021, Rey Mysterio took on Roman Reigns in a Hell in a Cell fit right through WWE's Thunderdome generation.

There used to be a time when it was once commonplace for WWE's Champions to defend their titles at house presentations each weekend, but with Reigns' part-time standing, having him be at a reside event at all is huge news. Roman Reigns protecting his title won't the one big wrestling match taking place this Saturday. June 17 could also be the debut of AEW Collision and the go back of CM Punk, with he and FTR set to take on Samoa Joe, Jay White, and Juice Robinson.
