During Uso&#8217;s promo, he specifically called out Bron Breakker by name. This exchange led to an Extreme Rules match at the end of the night between Uso and Breakker. During the match, a surprise appearance by Roman Reigns was a decisive part in the finish and made moves of his own for Clash in Paris.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FULL SEGMENT: Jey Uso and Bron Breakker agree to Extreme Rules Match: Raw highlights, Aug. 18, 2025\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9CPF6SPSEtc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Roman Reigns Helps Out Family and Calls His Shot for Paris<\/h2>\n<p>The Extreme Rules match between Bron Breakker and Jey Uso was as good as advertised. They used kendo sticks, chairs, tables, and more to try to get the win. Bronson Reed interrupted the match, coming to the aid of Breakker, and then the floodgates burst open.<\/p>\n<p>LA Knight appeared and attacked Reed, which led to Seth Rollins coming out to defend his stablemate. CM Punk then ran out and attacked Rollins. After accidentally putting Knight through a table, Punk and Rollins brawled to the back.<\/p>\n<p>As the melee subsided, Breakker lined up for the spear to finish Uso off. That&#8217;s when Roman Reigns made his grand entrance, spearing Breakker himself. He got Breakker onto another table, allowing for Uso to hit a frog splash and get the victory.<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards, Reed attempted to attack him and seemingly confirmed a match with him at Clash in Paris. Even though he was only on screen for a short amount of time, Reigns did a lot on Raw. He helped his cousin win while setting up a match at Clash in Paris, making the most out of every moment.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Roman Reigns helps Jey Uso defeat Bron Breakker: Raw highlights, Aug. 18, 2025\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fXqsN5X-NeM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong><b>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><i>Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/i><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\"><em><u><i>Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/i><\/u><\/em><\/a><em><i> for more on Roman Reigns, WWE Raw, and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
