October 5, 2020 | News | No Comments
After being set up on SmackDown last night, Roman Reigns vs. Jey Uso is now official for Hell in a Cell.
It was confirmed on this week’s episode of Talking Smack that Reigns will defend his Universal Championship against Uso in a Hell in a Cell match at this month’s Hell in a Cell pay-per-view. It was said on SmackDown that the match will have “the highest stakes that any match has ever had in WWE history,” but those stakes haven’t been revealed.
Reigns retained his Universal Championship against Uso in the main event of Clash of Champions this past Sunday. As Reigns was beating down Uso at the end of the match and demanding that Uso acknowledge him as the Tribal Chief, Jimmy Uso threw in the towel for his brother. Reigns had given Jey a low blow during the match when kicking out of a pinfall attempt.
A ceremony to officially crown Reigns as the Tribal Chief kicked off last night’s SmackDown. Reigns called Jey out to the ring and was still taking exception to not being acknowledged by him. Reigns pointed out that Jey was looking at his title during the segment and asked if he wanted another shot. Reigns told Jey there would be real consequences to their match this time. Jey said that — whatever the stakes are — he accepts the challenge.
Jey also defeated AJ Styles on SmackDown last night.
Reigns vs. Jey is the first match to be announced for Hell in a Cell. The PPV is taking place on Sunday, October 25.
