Reigns and Wyatt first battled at WWE “Battleground” on July 19, 2015 but Reigns would go on to lose the match by pinfall following interference from Luke Harper, who would rejoin Wyatt soon after.
Reigns would ally himself with former Shield ally Dean Ambrose against Wyatt and Harper at WWE “SummerSlam” on August 23, 2015 and would come up victorious.
Reigns and Ambrose would ally themselves with a secret partner who was revealed as Chris Jericho at WWE “Night Of Champions” on September 2o, 2015 against Wyatt, Harper and newcomer Braun Strowman but come up short as Jericho is knocked out by Strowman’s choke leading to tension between Jericho and the others.
Reigns and Ambrose were rumored to be teaming with Randy Orton against Wyatt, Harper and Stroman at WWE “Hell In A Cell” on October 25, 2015, but has now been confirmed to be facing Wyatt alone in a “Hell In A Cell” match.
WWE.com has confirmed this match with the following:
Their brawls have smashed through ringside barricades and shattered announce tables, but on Sunday, Oct. 25, Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt will fight to a finish inside Hell in a Cell, live on WWE Network. The match will be both Superstars’ first voyage into the career-changing structure.
With the Cell door locked, no other Superstars will be able to enter the fray, raising the stakes for this deeply personal rivalry. In the past months, the Reigns-Wyatt beef has at times teetered on full-blown turf-war status, entangling Dean Ambrose, Luke Harper, Braun Strowman and even Chris Jericho. At WWE Hell in a Cell, however, Reigns and Wyatt will be left entirely to their own devices.
The WWE Universe has witnessed donnybrook after donnybrook between the herculean Reigns and his frighteningly wicked counterpart, but never before have these adversaries locked horns inside a cage, much less Hell in a Cell. Their latest singles match, contested on the Sept. 28 edition of Raw, ended via count-out when the action spilled outside the ring. Even then, the fight was not quelled, as The Big Dog and The New Face of Fear continued warring throughout the arena to chants of “This is awesome!”
Who will emerge from the inhospitable Hell in a Cell as the clear victor? Watch the brutal conflict when it airs live from Los Angeles’ STAPLES Center Sunday, Oct. 25, only on the award-winning WWE Network.
Editor’s Note:
I am a fan of this rivalry, though it has dragged on for so long. Possibly my favorite promo or segment this year was on an episode of Smackdown where Roman Reigns was in the ring and Bray Wyatt appeared on the titantron. I will provide the video just below this Editor’s Note. Let me know on the Wrestling Rumors twitter or Facebook page.
