As Roman Reigns prepares to face Bronson Reed at Clash in Paris, a new possibility has emerged: a potential heel turn for the “OTC.” Recent events on Monday Night RAW have fueled speculation that Reigns could align with Jey Uso, forming a new full-time tag team.
The theory gained traction following the final RAW before the premium live event, where Jey Uso delivered a Superkick to CM Punk. Despite their seemingly positive relationship, the attack has been interpreted by some as a possible signal of a significant character shift for both Uso and Reigns.
The potential turn would occur during Reigns’ high-stakes match against Bronson Reed. Their feud, an extension of Reigns’ larger conflict with The Vision, intensified on the August 25th episode of RAW, featuring a backstage brawl where Reigns hit Reed with a Superman Punch.
This singles encounter at Clash in Paris marks Reigns’ first one-on-one match since the January 6, 2025, episode of RAW. For Bronson Reed, it represents the highest-profile singles contest of his WWE career to date.
A heel turn would pivot Reigns away from his current babyface persona, allowing him and Uso to pursue the tag team championships. The move is seen by some as a way to inject new life into Jey Uso’s character following his run as a singles competitor since leaving The Bloodline.
While on-screen actions have opened the door for this storyline, it is important to note that the potential heel turn and tag team formation remain speculative. The definitive direction will be revealed at Clash in Paris on Sunday, August 31.
