In a shocking turn of events at WWE Crown Jewel 2025, Roman Reigns shocked fans by using a bat in a cinematic turn of events evocative of cricket wars. While fighting Bronson Reed, Reigns entered the ring with a bat, pushing Reed out of the arena. Explaining the bat's use, commentator Wade Barrett, an Englishman, compared Reigns' batting ability as higher art to that of cricket greats Steve Smith and Ricky Ponting, leaving lots for media channels to implement with gusto. Amidst all this, an Instagram troll chirped, “Virat Kohli ft. Roman Reigns,” just to prove how global this daring moment went in attraction.

A fully charged Reigns engaged in an unbelievable challenge from that duo Reed and Bron Breakker, who created chaos against him in that contender battle. The match was even filled with reenactments of The Shield's signature move: the powerbomb, with Reigns once again crashing through an announce table in front of millions of happy fans. Earlier, Jey Uso tried to interfere for his cousin Reigns but mistakenly struck Reigns instead while attempting a spear on Reed. Reed capitalized on the mistake giving him a tsunami move and one of the biggest wins of his career. All Reigns had to his honor was torture atop that announce table with bruises from the beating courtesy of The Tribal Chief unleashing attacks from Reed and Breakker in tandem. The double assault crowning this unceremonious defeat consequently put Reigns out of any WWE programming for weeks and built the matches up to his eventual return.
