Roman Reigns on SummerSlam (WWE)
Jey Uso’s suicide dive supposedly caused Roman Reigns an injury although the undisputed WWE Universal Champion is expected to appear at this week’s Smackdown
Roman Reigns and Jey Uso came face to face at WWE SummerSlam 2023 with the moniker of the ‘Tribal Chief’ up for grabs, it was a Tribal Combat match with tables, kendo sticks, and chairs all legal and the pair left no stone unturned to unleash all kinds on pain on each other.
Reigns put his WWE Universal Championship on the line and in the end, he would end up retaining his status as the ‘Tribal Chief’ after Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso got involved.
The fact that Jey’s own twin cousin Jimmy got involved in the match and betrayed his own blood came as a surprise to many fans. Jimmy had been nursing an injury which is why Jey was left all alone to challenge Reigns for his titles and the ‘head of the table’ status.

However with Jimmy getting involved and stepping in between his brother’s quest for vengeance, Jey didn’t get the desired result. During the hellacious battle between the two fighters, Roman ended up injuring his arm at SummerSlam.
The Undisputed WWE Universal Championship didn’t attend the post-match press conference leaving his manager Paul Heyman to attend the presser all on his own. While many fans were left wondering when exactly Reigns picked up the injury, a new viral video has surfaced on the internet which shows Jey trying to warn Roman before hitting him with a suicide dive outside the ring.
