Roman Reigns accomplished a personal milestone in the main event of WWE SummerSlam 2023.
The premium live event took place this past Saturday night at Ford Field in Detroit. Roman Reigns and Jey Uso battled in the main event in a Tribal Combat match. Not only was the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship on the line in the match, but Reigns' spot as Tribal Chief was also up for grabs. However, Jimmy Uso interfered in the match and betrayed his brother to ensure that Reigns emerged victorious.
According to the Twitter account "Wrestle Ops," Reigns wrestled in his longest singles match at a premium event against Jey Uso at SummerSlam. Reigns' Tribal Combat match against Jey lasted over 36 minutes at the premium live event in Detroit.
"Roman Reigns had his longest PPV singles match of his entire career on the main-roster thus far with Jey Uso last night. Over 36 minutes. #SummerSlam," tweeted Wrestle Ops.
