In a surprising twist, WWE’s Undisputed Universal Champion, Roman Reigns, took the center stage in a rare house show appearance at Mexico City’s Arena CDMX.
The event, held on July 22, became the talk of the town as the legendary Rey Mysterio stepped up to challenge the formidable Tribal Chief for his coveted gold, just a mere two weeks before Reigns was set to defend his title against cousin Jey Uso at SummerSlam on August 5.

The outcome of the electrifying match was predictable as Roman Reigns once again showcased his dominance, securing victory over Mysterio. Notably, this marked only his second title defense since his triumphant win over Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 39 on April 2.
While Reigns managed to retain his title during a live event in Cincinnati, Ohio, on June 17, there was no denying that the long-awaited televised title defense had been overdue, crossing the 100-day mark without one. Fans voiced their concerns about Roman’s inactivity with the championship, yet there was an undeniable silver lining to this prolonged wait.
Throughout this period of inactivity, the Bloodline story continued to unfold with gripping storylines and enormous success for the company. However, the focus now shifts to Rey Mysterio, who still holds a golden opportunity to clinch the title.
