Roman Reigns is expected to defeat Bronson Reed at Clash in Paris this Saturday, according to the latest betting odds. The information, released by Bet Online, positions Reigns as the favorite in what will be his first singles match on a premium live event since WrestleMania XL.
The one-on-one contest was booked by WWE management after weeks of antagonism from Reed, who has mockingly referred to himself as “The Tribal Thief” while repeatedly stealing Reigns’ sneakers. The feud escalated following SummerSlam, where Reigns and Jey Uso defeated the team of Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker.
While the odds favor Reigns, the match carries a significant complication in the form of Bronson Reed’s faction, The Vision. The group, led by Seth Rollins, has consistently used its numbers to influence outcomes, creating a strong possibility of outside interference during the contest in Paris.
This match also marks the end of a unique 786-day streak for “The Original Tribal Chief.” It will be his first non-championship singles bout on a premium live event in more than two years, a statistic that underscores the nature of his historic 1,316-day run as world champion, which consisted almost exclusively of title defenses.
During the final episode of RAW before the event, held on August 25th in Birmingham, England, Reigns’ connection with the live audience was on full display. In a segment where he questioned his own top-star status, the crowd responded with overwhelming support, solidifying the importance of his upcoming clash with Reed.
