Roman Reigns to battle Sami Zayn at WWE Crown Jewel

Roman Reigns will battle Sami Zayn in the Champion vs. Champion Match at WWE Crown Jewel.

Since defeating CM Punk at WrestleMania to become World Heavyweight Champion, Roman Reigns has adopted a new approach of fighting his matchups without his family interfering in the action. 

In contract, Zayn has begun to use questionable tactics to gain an advantage since he reclaimed the Undisputed WWE Title.

Reigns and Zayn are no strangers to one another. Sami once stood as “The Honorary Use” in the original Bloodline before he and The OTC had a fallout and subsequent battle for the Undisputed WWE Championship. 

The original Bloodline reformed in 2024 to fight The New Bloodline at Survivor Series: WarGames and claim a win in a WarGames Match.

Considering the new approach employed by each champion, what will happen when Reigns once again steps in the ring with Zayn?

At WWE Crown Jewel, Chelsea Green will battle Liv Morgan in a Champion vs. Champion Match.

Chelsea Green won the WWE Women's Championship by defeating her friend Tiffany Stratton, Jade Cargill, Charlotte Flair and Lash Legend in a Five-Way Ladder Match at SummerSlam. 

She quickly established herself as a gutsy competitor by fighting through a broken orbital bone to retain her title against Nia Jax.

Morgan became a four-time Women’s World Champion after reclaiming the gold in a Triple Threat Match against then-champion Stephanie Vaquer and Becky Lynch at WWE Money in the Bank.

The night after Liv captured the title, Green came to Monday Night Raw to confront the new champion, and the stage was set for their epic showdown.
