The match saw intense back-and-forth action, with both competitors pulling out all the stops. Reigns scored the first near fall after catching Uso midair with a Superman Punch. Uso swung the momentum in his favor with a super kick and Uso Splash.
Throughout the match, Reigns’ history-making reign as universal champion was bolstered by the support of The Bloodline, and SummerSlam was no exception. Solo Sikoa emerged from the crowd and attacked Uso, providing a crucial distraction that allowed Reigns to gain an advantage. However, later in the match Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso’s twin brother, appeared as a masked assailant and assaulted Jey Uso and threw him into the ring for an awaiting Roman. Reigns capitalized and ultimately secured the victory, ensuring his reign as the undisputed WWE Universal Champion and Tribal Chief.
