In a moment of drama and nostalgia, WWE fans witnessed the stunning reunion of the original Bloodline as Roman Reigns shocked the world at SummerSlam 2025. After months off, Reigns surfaced during Night 1 at MetLife Stadium (August 2–3)—not alone, but hand‑in‑hand with Jey Uso, confirming an alliance many believed was long gone.
Reigns’ return set the tone: he intervened to save Jey and CM Punk from an onslaught by Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, effectively reassembling The Bloodline’s core. And it was Reigns himself who issued the challenge—publicly calling out Breakker and Reed, before proposing a tag match with Jey by his side. Jey accepted immediately.
The plot thickened when Seth Rollins suffered a knee injury just before the event, putting in doubt the originally planned singles showdown with Reigns. WWE pivoted swiftly: the match was re‑booked as a tag team main event. Paul Heyman—now styling himself as “The Oracle”—officially announced Reigns and Jey vs. Breakker and Reed in a TMZ interview.
When Night 1 kicked off, the duo dominated. Despite a late entrance, Reigns and Uso delivered a commanding performance, sealing victory over the antagonists and igniting the two‑night extravaganza with fireworks.
