Winner Of Roman Reigns Vs. Seth Rollins WWE SummerSlam 2026 Match Predicted

Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins are set to clash this Sunday at WWE SummerSlam.

The OTC captured the World Heavyweight Championship from CM Punk at WrestleMania 42. He has since defended the title twice against his cousin Jacob Fatu, who joined The Bloodline after losing to Reigns in Tribal Combat.

Ahead of SummerSlam, Seth Rollins confronted Roman Reigns, challenging his former Shield teammate for the title at The Biggest Party of the Summer.

Heading into the premium live event, the two longtime rivals had several face-offs on RAW, with their last one taking place last night. It saw The Visionary cross the line by taking shots at Reigns’ family. The OTC then attacked Rollins, but the latter was the one who stood tall by the end of the segment after delivering a devastating stomp to his SummerSlam opponent.
