Roman Reigns finally overcame all odds when he defeated Solo Sikoa in Tribal Combat on Raw’s Netflix debut. Not only did The OTC reclaim the Ula Fala, but he also received the acknowledgment of The Rock. Following the events of Monday night, Paul Heyman addressed the next step for The Needle Mover on the latest edition of SmackDown.

During a confrontation with Cody Rhodes, Heyman revealed that The American Nightmare has earned the respect of The Bloodline. However, Reigns’ primary focus remains on reclaiming the Undisputed WWE Championship. To secure his path to a title opportunity, The Wiseman announced that The Head of the Table will officially enter the Royal Rumble match.

Interestingly, this marks the first time Reigns will enter the Royal Rumble match in his ‘Tribal Chief’ persona. With his Ula Fala in hand, Reigns appears determined to reclaim his place atop WWE. However, victory will not come easy, as the field is stacked with formidable stars, including CM Punk and Jey Uso, who are poised to challenge his dominance.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the idea of Reigns vs. The Rock is still very much alive. While WWE appears to have pushed the match back indefinitely, it remains a possibility for a future WrestleMania. The report suggests that the realization of this blockbuster bout hinges on two key factors: the right location and a lucrative offer compelling enough to bring The Great One back to WWE.

Moreover, the report notes that The Final Boss would need to undergo rigorous training for a WWE match, which demands commitment. With his packed Hollywood schedule, uncertainty looms over his WWE future. Additionally, plans for a potential clash between The Rock and Cody Rhodes have reportedly been scrapped. This suggests that The Brahma Bull may remain absent for an extended period.
