Roman Reigns is set to compete against a former champion at WWE Crown Jewel.

The Original Tribal Chief kicked off tonight’s episode of RAW after returning last week to help his cousins, Jimmy & Jey Uso, defeat The Vision on the red brand.

However, he was interrupted by WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman and Bronson Reed before he cut his promo. The Oracle brought up the fact that Reigns was stretchered out of Clash in Paris, highlighting that it was the first time it had happened in his career.

Heyman and Reed also mentioned the former Undisputed WWE Champion’s father and uncle, Afa & Sika, pointing out that they have never been stretchered out throughout their long wrestling careers, questioning what they would have thought of Reigns.

The OTC responded by saying that if his father were there, he would have told him to fight Reed now. Although the Australian star seemed willing to head to the ring, Heyman stopped him.

Instead, the WWE Hall of Famer challenged Reigns to face Reed in an Australian Street Fight match at Crown Jewel this Saturday, which The OTC accepted.

Heyman: Roman Reigns versus Bronson Reed this Saturday Night, Perth, Australia, at Crown Jewel in a match that Bronson Reed made famous. In a match that Bronson Reed has never been defeated in. In a match that Bronson Reed was so dominant in that WWE recruited him from Australia to the main roster. This Saturday night at Crown Jewel, Roman Reigns [vs.] Bronson Reed in an Australian Street Fight.

Reigns: Too easy. I accept.

As Heyman and Reed were leaving, Reigns made an insulting remark about his Crown Jewel opponent. The former NXT North American Champion charged back to brawl with The OTC. Their fight saw the former Bloodline leader stand tall after delivering multiple Superman Punches to The Vision’s member.
