Real Meaning Behind Bronson Reed Taking Roman Reigns’ Sneakers Revealed

Jey Uso and Bronson Reed faced off in a heated WWE main event on this week’s RAW, just days before a high-stakes SummerSlam tag team match featuring Uso and Roman Reigns against Reed and Bron Breakker.

Reed dominated early with his size and power, pushing Uso to the brink. As Uso rallied back, Bron Breakker’s unexpected Spear caused a disqualification that shifted the momentum. The post-match chaos saw Reigns rushing in to save his cousin from a brutal beat-down, only for Breakker to neutralize Reigns with a devastating spear.

Reed capped off the assault by delivering his signature Tsunami move to Uso. In a symbolic act that drew significant attention, Bronson Reed took off Roman Reigns’ sneakers and declared, “These belong to me now.” This sparked questions about the meaning behind the gesture, which was clarified on the Busted Open podcast by Dave LaGreca.

Bronson Reed Took Roman Reigns’ Sneakers To Assert Dominance

LaGreca stated that Bronson Reed’s taking of Roman Reigns’ shoes symbolized a shift in power and control. By claiming the sneakers, Reed sent a strong message that the established reign of Reigns and his like-minded allies is being challenged.

He explained, “It’s an ownership thing. You know, that’s like I said, it stems from prison. Like I own you now. You know what I’m saying? Like, look I can take your sneaker. Those sneakers, they’re mine now. Everything is mine now. That’s what it reminded me of. And like with the same thing with Bron Breaker, him saying, “No, this is this ring. This is mine now. This was yours. It’s not yours anymore. This is mine.”
