SummerSlam has featured plenty of upsets and shock victories over the years, and 2025’s premium live event must feature another one. WWE is heading towards its first ever two-night SummerSlam on August 2 and 3, emanating from the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and the show could very well be a historic one. We will take a look at one of the main event matches at SummerSlam 2025, as Roman Reigns and Jey Uso take on Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. It’s important that WWE goes for an upset here and actually has Breakker pin the Tribal Chief.
Bron Breakker Must Pin Roman Reigns At SummerSlam
- It looked like Reigns was going to face Seth Rollins.
- Roman Reigns and Jey Uso will face Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed.
- Heyman’s henchmen destroyed members of the original Bloodline on Raw.
Many believed that Roman Reigns would do battle with Seth Rollins at SummerSlam 2025, but in the face of his apparent injury, Reigns is poised to team with cousin Jey Uso to take on Paul Heyman’s duo of henchmen in Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, two men with a point to prove as they seek to climb up the card in WWE. Both teams have shared moments of dominance in the lead up to SummerSlam 2025, though on the go-home episode of Monday Night RAW, Breakker and Reed absolutely decimated the Bloodline pairing. This should be repeated at SummerSlam.

Jelly Roll has a match at SummerSlam, but many names outside of WWE have appeared at WWE’s biggest show of the summer.
The WWE Universe would certainly be shocked if Bron Breakker speared the soul out of Roman Reigns and pinned him clean in the middle of the ring, standing tall. This is what should happen at the premium live event, and there are several reasons as to why this upset is the best booking decision available for WWE. It would be easy to have Breakker and Reed cheat their way to victory, and it would be easier to have Reigns and Uso overcome the odds and achieve a celebratory babyface win. However, for the betterment of WWE, a Breakker upset win over Reigns specifically should be the direction.
Bron Breakker Needs A Marquee WWE Victory To Feel Like A Star
- Breakker has reigned as Intercontinental Champion, but he still needs a major win.
- He clearly has the potential to be one of WWE’s stars of the future.
- Pinning Reigns is something few have done in WWE.
Bron Breakker has clearly always been a future WWE star from the very first moment he stepped foot in NXT, but when it comes to the main roster, he is still in need of a major star-making moment and victory. He’s had two reigns as Intercontinental Champion and had some standout moments when it comes to his highlight reel of spears, but in terms of actual high-profile victories, he is still looking for one that will elevate him firmly to the main event scene. Beating Roman Reigns, who has been at the tippy top of WWE for the last decade and pushed harder than anyone, would be a statement.

Roman Reigns Is In Need Of Adversity As A Babyface
- Reigns losing can unlock more of a likable babyface persona.
- Reigns vs. Breakker will be a strong singles feud.
- Reigns can get his win back down the line.
A win for Bron Breakker would of course be beneficial to his rise as a star, but this result would also help Roman Reigns. As a babyface, Reigns is still in need of more adversity to overcome. It feels as though he hasn’t faced enough issues to warrant being a good guy worthy of the fans’ support yet, much of that due to him being a part-timer in WWE nowadays, and not being around often enough to truly get his teeth into storylines and develop as a babyface.

This Is WWE’s Most Underrated SummerSlam
You may have forgotten about it, but this SummerSlam was better than most.
Losing to Breakker can drum up some doubt in his ability and standing in WWE, making him question whether he’s still as good as he once was. SummerSlam will be the first time Reigns wrestles without being aligned with Paul Heyman, so losing immediately will make him question his quality in WWE without his ‘Wise Man’. Reigns can earn back a victory down the line, but Breakker winning will kickstart a singles feud with Reigns, which is something fresh, and it would be a massive deal for Breakker.
