Roman Reigns speaks following WWE SummerSlam 2026

Roman Reigns opened up regarding his past with Seth Rollins following their match at SummerSlam.

Following his victory on Sunday, Reigns told Jackie Redmond at the start of the SummerSlam post-show that tonight was a special moment for him. When asked what he told Rollins following their match, he talked about their history dating back to their time in FCW.

“It’s always been me and you,” he said. “Since FCW, since The Red Rooster was bi****** at us. It’s always been me and Seth. It’s always been the two of us. Even in the Shield, we already knew what it was. We knew [Dean] Ambrose was a wild hair but we knew we was the guys that was gonna change this place, we’re the pioneers of this place. When people left, when people was scared, when they ran off, we held the fort down.”

The World Heavyweight Champion emerged victorious on Sunday, defeating Rollins with a spear in a long, dramatic match full of callbacks to their time as members of the Shield. At one point, they even borrowed moves from the group’s third member, better known now as Jon Moxley. Rollins rebounded at one point with the wacky line, while Reigns connected with dirty deeds.
