This week’s episode of WWE Monday Night RAW delivered one of the most shocking and brutal moments in recent memory as Roman Reigns unleashed a ruthless assault that left Seth Rollins’ faction destroyed and the WWE Universe stunned.
The night began with Seth Rollins and his group—consisting of Damian Priest, JD McDonagh, and Finn Bálor—mocking Reigns for his absence from RAW in recent weeks. Rollins, fresh off his latest victory, proclaimed that “The Architect’s house runs RAW,” while belittling Reigns’ status as “The Tribal Chief.” The insults didn’t sit well with the former Universal Champion, who stormed into the arena midway through the show.
What followed was nothing short of carnage.
Reigns interrupted Rollins’ in-ring celebration, walking down the ramp with an intensity that immediately silenced the crowd. The faction tried to confront him head-on, but Reigns was in no mood for mind games. He charged into the ring with a ferocity fans hadn’t seen in months, delivering thunderous Superman Punches to McDonagh and Priest before spearing Bálor through the ropes.
Rollins attempted to rally his men, but Reigns seemed completely unhinged. He grabbed a steel chair from ringside and began swinging with reckless abandon. McDonagh took the brunt of the chair shots, collapsing outside the ring as officials scrambled to restore order. Priest tried to intervene, only to be flattened by another spear that sent the crowd into a frenzy.
The most shocking moment came when Reigns turned his full attention to Rollins. For years, the two have shared one of WWE’s most storied rivalries, and Monday night was another brutal chapter. Reigns cornered Rollins, hammering him with fists before hoisting him up for a devastating powerbomb through the announce table. The impact left Rollins motionless as medical personnel rushed to check on him.
Fans inside the arena erupted with chants of “Roman! Roman!” while others looked on in disbelief at the sheer violence of the attack. Even the commentary team was left speechless, noting that this wasn’t the methodical Tribal Chief of the past year—this was a man completely consumed by rage.
WWE officials eventually escorted Reigns out of the building, but the damage was already done. Rollins’ faction lay in ruins, with three members requiring medical attention and Rollins himself stretchered to the back.
The implications of this shocking turn are massive. Reigns’ assault not only reignites his rivalry with Rollins but also disrupts the power balance on RAW. With Rollins sidelined, his faction appears vulnerable, and Reigns has reestablished himself as the most dangerous force in WWE.
Social media exploded immediately after the show, with fans debating whether this was a return to Reigns’ more violent “Big Dog” persona or simply the next chapter in his reign as Tribal Chief. Either way, one thing is certain: Roman Reigns has sent a message loud and clear—no one, not even Seth Rollins, is safe.
