Roman Reigns’ First Time In Italy In 7 Years
The last time Roman Reigns competed in Italy was back in 2018 as part of a live event where he teamed with Bobby Lashley and Braun Strowman to defeat Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Samoa Joe. His last appearance in Bologna came a year before where he defeated Strowman in a street fight.
Reigns has been in action in London, England more recently as the Tribal Chief teamed with Solo Sikoa to face The Usos at Money In The Bank in 2023.
Roman Reigns was part of the 2025 Royal Rumble as he sought to book a world title match at WrestleMania 41. Jey Uso won the Rumble and has called his shot against Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship. Reigns’ match on the grandest stage of them all currently remains unknown.
