Below are some WWE & AEW news stories:
– Roman Reigns will defend his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against his cousin Jey Uso in the main event of SummerSlam this Saturday at the Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan.
Jey Uso was preparing to leave for Detroit at his home on Wednesday, where WWE recorded a vlog and asked his youngest son, Jeyce Fatu’s prediction about his dad vs. Roman Reigns.
Jeyce reminded Jey that The Tribal Chief defeated him in their last encounter, which is why he thinks Reigns will win this time too.
Jey then later convinced his son to pick him as the potential winner over Reigns.
