Roman Reigns Breaks Silence Following Major WWE Announcement

Following Raw, WWE made another announcement regarding Reigns, revealing that the reigning World Heavyweight Champion will also be at Fanatics Fest on Saturday, July 18th.

Seth Rollins Has His Sights Set On Roman Reigns’ Title
Last week on Raw, Seth Rollins defeated Bron Breakker in a singles match. This week on the red brand show, The Visionary was interviewed backstage, where he revealed that now that he is done with the Vision, he is going after Roman Reigns and the title he never lost.
Rollins had to relinquish his title last year after suffering an injury while wrestling Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel. So technically, he never lost the title.
“The Vision is in the past. The future is me taking back the title that I never lost. What that means is I have a date somewhere down the line with Roman Reigns. The man I used to call brother. The man who can’t seem to win his title on his own. The man who can’t seem to beat Seth Rollins when it matters most. The World Title belongs to me.”
Rollins competed in the first-round qualifier match for the 2026 King of the Ring tournament on Raw. His opponents were Je’Von Evans, Ricky Saints, and Talla Tonga. Unfortunately, he failed to win as Evans captured the victory.
It’d be interesting to see what Rollins will do now to get a shot at Roman Reigns’ World Heavyweight Championship.
