Paul Heyman responds to Roman Reigns’ challenge for WWE SummerSlam
Paul Heyman has accepted Roman Reigns’ challenge.
On Tuesday, Reigns issued a challenge for a tag match against “The Bron Brons,” referring to Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed at WWE SummerSlam. Early Wednesday morning, Jey Uso responded to Reigns, saying:
“The Tribal Chief and Main Event Jey Uso vs. The Bron Brons at SummerSlam? Say less, Uce.”
Also on Wednesday, NYC-based journalist Adam Glyn published a video of him asking Heyman about Reigns challenge. Heyman accepted and then said the ball is in Reigns’ court to pick which night of SummerSlam the match takes place on.
“Roman Reigns has picked his poison. Now Roman Reigns can pick the date. Saturday or Sunday, it doesn’t matter to us. Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed accept the challenge of Roman Reigns and Jey Uso for SummerSlam. Welcome to my island of relevancy. And right over the bridge in New Jersey, we’ll leave them both buried next to Jimmy Hoffa.“
When asked if his acceptance means the match is official, Heyman responded:
“Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman. If I say it, it’s biblical bitches.“
WWE later confirmed the match is official for SummerSlam, but which night it’ll take place is still unclear.
