In an absolutely unprecedented WWE moment that has the entire wrestling community buzzing, Roman Reigns delivered a jaw-dropping performance, eerily reminiscent of a high-stakes cricket match. During a recent bout at WWE Crown Jewel 2025, Reigns brandished a cricket bat in a shocking twist, literally batting his opponent, Bronson Reed, right out of the ring.
Social media exploded with reactions, with one fan humorously quipping, “Virat Kohli ft. Roman Reigns,” perfectly capturing the sheer spectacle of this unexpected maneuver. The daring act follows closely on the heels of Reigns’s earlier loss to Bronson Reed in a brutal Australian Street Fight.
That initial encounter, held in Reed’s home country of Australia, saw Reigns facing an overwhelming challenge as Reed and Bron Breakker double-teamed him relentlessly throughout the match. The chaotic contest included memorable moments, such as a recreation of The Shield’s iconic powerbomb, which sent Reigns crashing dramatically through the announce table.
Earlier in that same match, Jey Uso attempted to assist his cousin but inadvertently struck Reigns while aiming a spear at Reed. Seizing the opportunity, Reed capitalized, delivering a devastating Tsunami to pin Reigns, securing one of the biggest victories of his career. Despite Reigns’s usual dominance and his formidable reputation as The Tribal Chief, the combined onslaught from Reed and Breakker left him unable to continue, effectively sidelining him from WWE programming for several weeks.
Reigns’s dramatic return on the September 29 episode of Raw built intense anticipation for Crown Jewel, where he once again faced off against Reed. Although Reigns brought his signature intensity and had recently aided The Usos in their matches, Reed ultimately emerged victorious yet again, further solidifying his position as a legitimate top contender in WWE.
