On June 17, Roman Reigns will defend the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Rey Mysterio at WWE Live Event at the Heritage Bank Center in Cincinnati, Ohio.
During his ongoing 1,000+ day title reign, Reigns has faced Mysterio before. In 2021, Reigns defeated Mysterio in a Hell in a Cell match on an episode of SmackDown.
WWE has sold almost 3,800 tickets for this untelevised House Show so far.
This will be Reigns’ first singles match and title defense since his WrestleMania 39 victory against Cody Rhodes.
Since WrestleMania 39, Reigns has only competed in one match, which took place in the main event of the Night Of Champions 2023 premium live event, where Reigns & Solo Sikoa lost to Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn in an Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship match.
Roman’s next televised match will take place at the Money In The Bank 2023 premium live event at the O2 Arena in London, England on July 1st.
At this PLE, he’s expected to team up with Solo Sikoa to take on The Usos.
