This week’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw aired live from the American Airlines Arena in Dallas, Texas and the show kicked off in a big way as Roman Reigns made his way out to the ring during the opening segment. The fans made it clear that they were happy to see him as they greeted Roman with “OTC” chants.
As soon as the fans calmed down Roman Reigns told Dallas, Texas to acknowledge him, then Bronson Reed’s music hit and he made his way out with Paul Heyman by his side. Heyman told the fans to acknowledge The Tribal Chief, and he told Roman Reigns to acknowledge the one person he fears, Bronson Reed. Paul Heyman then pointed out that Bronson Reed is the only person who beat Roman Reigns so bad that he had to be stretchered out of the arena.
Bronson Reed brought up Roman’s father and his uncle, and Roman told him that he didn’t know his father, but his father would say “fight him now.” Heyman tried to talk Reed out of it.
Reed and Heyman conversed for a moment then Heyman laid out a challenge for Roman Reigns to face Bronson Reed in an Australian Street Fight at Crown Jewel. Roman immediately accepted the challenge.
Paul Heyman tried to leave, but Roman told the Dallas fans that they seem to be trying to walk out like a couple of “b*****s.” Reed ran down to the ring and started brawling with Reigns.
The Tribal Chief started to clear off the announce table as WWE officials pulled him and Reed apart. Roman managed to land a Superman Punch on Bronson Reed then he climbed up onto the second turnbuckle and hyped up the fans.
Roman Reigns.
