Reigns and Reed Hype Clash in Paris, Zayn Crowned New US Champ

According to the report, this past week was an eventful one for WWE, with several Superstars seeing their stock rise or fall.

On the upswing, Roman Reigns and Bronson Reed (along with Paul Heyman) did an excellent job of building anticipation for their Clash in Paris match, both on the mic and in a wild brawl. Reigns was received as the top star in WWE, while Reed showed he can cut a strong promo. Additionally, AJ Styles had a busy Raw, helping Dragon Lee win and then defeating Finn Balor cleanly. This has earned Styles an Intercontinental title match against Rey Mysterio next week.

The biggest riser, however, was Sami Zayn, who has only been on the SmackDown roster for two weeks but has already captured the United States Championship. Zayn is embracing his status as a top star, no longer the underdog.

On the downside, LA Knight was pinned by Bron Breakker on Raw, hurting his credibility as a threat to Seth Rollins' world title. Solo Sikoa's United States title reign also came to an end against Zayn, after the Bloodline faction had been talking about dominating WWE. Newcomer Kiana was also quickly defeated in her SmackDown debut match.
