Roman Reigns to create a new team with former rival for SummerSlam 2025, says WWE analyst

Roman Reigns made a stellar return to weekly programming on last night's WWE RAW after months of absence. He took out Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, saving Jey Uso and CM Punk from an assault after The Best in The World won the Gauntlet Match. Meanwhile, analyst Sam Roberts thinks the company has given a hint as to what the Original Tribal Chief may do at The Biggest Party of The Summer in New Jersey.

Almost two years ago, Roman Reigns, ruling the Island of Relevancy, entered a feud with The Usos. After the group took out Jimmy Uso, Jey challenged Reigns to a Tribal Combat Match at WWE SummerSlam 2023. The two feuded for a month, and the Only Tribal Chief won the match when Jimmy returned and turned heel on his brother.

Speaking on the Notsam Wrestling podcast, the WWE analyst expressed his desire to see a one-on-one match between Roman Reigns and Bron Breakker at SummerSlam 2025. However, he thinks Reigns may reunite with Jey Uso and form a team to take on Breakker and Bronson Reed in a tag team match in New Jersey. The OG Bloodline members have teamed up in several multi-man matches in the past, but the two have never had a proper run in the promotion as a tag team.

"I think your SummerSlam match is going to be Roman [Reigns] and Jey [Uso] versus Bronson [Reed] and Bron [Breakker]. That's what my takeaway was. That's what my immediate thought was," Roberts said. [From 05:15 to 05:25]

Did Roman Reigns ever team up with Jey Uso in WWE?

In 2020, Roman Reigns became The Tribal Chief, with Paul Heyman serving as his Wiseman. The 40-year-old star's first feud was with Jey Uso, who eventually acknowledged him as The Head of The Table. The cousins teamed up twice on Friday Night SmackDown to take on King Corbin and Sheamus.

While the two were undefeated as a team for a while, they eventually suffered a disqualification loss on an episode of the blue brand's show in a tag team match against Kevin Owens and Otis. In the months that followed, Jey remained Reigns' Right Hand Man until Jimmy Uso returned from an injury.

The cousins have often joined forces in multi-man matches following the creation of The Bloodline. However, it's been over four years since the Original Tribal Chief and Main Event Jey have been in a tag team match as partners, and it'll be interesting to see if the company decides to book them as a duo for WWE SummerSlam 2025.
