Roman Reigns is reportedly set to compete in the WarGames match at WWE’s upcoming Survivor Series premium live event in San Diego, California.
According to a report from Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, the current plan calls for Reigns to participate in the faction-based match rather than a traditional one-on-one contest. “I think Roman’s definitely doing the San Diego show, but he’s not in a singles match in San Diego, he’s in the WarGames, unless they change,” Meltzer stated.
Meltzer also noted that a highly anticipated singles match between Reigns and his rival, Seth Rollins, is not expected soon. “There’s no Roman Reigns/Seth Rollins match before at the earliest January… I think it’s probably WrestleMania as a guess,” he added.
A WarGames match would serve as a logical climax to the escalating rivalry between the reformed Bloodline and Rollins’s faction, The Vision. The feud ignited at WrestleMania 41 when Paul Heyman betrayed Reigns to align with Rollins.
After being sidelined by an attack from The Vision, Reigns returned in July to assist CM Punk and Jey Uso. This led to a tag team victory for Reigns and Uso over Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed at SummerSlam. The conflict has since intensified, with Reigns recently saving The Usos from another assault by the rival faction.
Before Survivor Series, Reigns is scheduled to face Bronson Reed in an Australian Street Fight at the Crown Jewel event this Saturday. The outcome of that bout, as well as the champion vs. champion main event between Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes, will directly shape the landscape and determine which faction holds momentum heading into WarGames.
