WWE May Scrap Roman Reigns vs. Bron Breakker Singles Match

WWE might be pulling the plug on a planned singles match between Roman Reigns and Bron Breakker at SummerSlam—and replacing it with a tag match to avoid some tough decisions.

On the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer broke down why WWE may shift to a tag bout featuring Reigns and Jey Uso vs. Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. According to Meltzer, it’s all about protecting top stars without having to book an unwanted loss.

“Obviously, the plan was Roman Reigns against Bron Breakker and Jey Uso against Bronson Reed. But I could see from watching TV the last two weeks, I could easily see that change into a tag.”

The core issue? WWE doesn’t want to pin either Reigns or Breakker right now, but a tag match gives them a clean out—by having Bronson Reed take the fall.

“One of the things about making a tag that makes it better is that you can pin Bronson Reed, you know, because if they do a singles match, you either got to do a DQ, or you got to beat Roman, which I don’t think they want to do, or you got to beat Bron Breakker, which, I mean, you could do it, but I’m not sure they want to do that one right now.”

It’s a strategic pivot that would allow all parties to stay strong without compromising the bigger picture. With SummerSlam around the corner, WWE appears to be adjusting its card on the fly to protect future momentum for Breakker and Reigns.
