What Roman Reigns said to Seth Rollins at the end of their match at WWE SummerSlam 2026
As seen during the 2026 WWE SummerSlam Sunday PLE, Roman Reigns defeated Seth Rollins to retain the world heavyweight title. After the match, Reigns spoke with Jackie Redmond and here are the highlights…
Jackie: “You said you needed this win over Seth Rollins. You got it. What is this moment against this guy? What does it represent for you?”
Roman: “This is a complete, full circle. This is where we close the loop for it to happen here in Minnesota. This is where my football career ended at this moment here. God is a way better storyteller than all of us. This is a special moment for me.”
Jackie: “The moment with the chair felt like the turning point of this match. Can you tell us what was going through your mind in that moment?”
Roman: “Do what I tell my sons. Do what I tell my daughter. Learn from your mistakes. It’s time that we all grow up emotionally. You got to mature. You got to learn from your mistakes. You got to take these losses and make them lessons, and that is what I did tonight.”
Jackie: “It felt like you chose strategy over emotion in that moment. Before that final Spear, you said something to Seth. What was it?”
Roman: “It has always been me and you since FCW, since the Red Rooster was bitching at us. It’s always been the two of us. Even in The Shield, we already knew what it was. We knew Ambrose was a wild hare. We were going to change this place. We are the pioneers of this place. When people were scared and ran off, we held the fort down.”
