The OTC is ready for a fight and it's going down at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Roman Reigns took to Instagram Live Tuesday to issue a challenge to both Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. The Tribal Chief said if they want to prove that they are the real future of the industry, then they need to do it at the major Premium Live Events just like he's done throughout his career.

The proposal that The OTC threw down on the table would be for himself and Main Event Jey Uso to reunite one more time to take on Breakker and Reed in a tag team match.

There was little doubt as to whether Seth Rollins' boys would answer the call, putting the ball firmly in the court of the former World Heavyweight Champion.

It did not take Jey Uso long at all to make his decision. He issued a response on his own Instagram Wednesday and told his cousin to say less, 'Four letters, one word... YEET!'

Since returning to Monday night Raw two weeks ago, Reigns has prominently stood next to his cousin as an equal. As two men who have both captured World Titles on the 'Grandest Stage of Them All'. That's a level of respect that Jey Uso has always wanted from The OTC and he has fully earned it.

They will now stand shoulder-to-shoulder against Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed next weekend at SummerSlam, with Paul Heyman watching on, further stacking an already all-star guest list for the 'Biggest Party of the Summer'.
