Every WWE fan knows that the company’s European tours bring unmatched energy, and this week’s Monday Night Raw in Birmingham was no exception. With the next PLE in the form of Clash in Paris just around the corner, the show kicked off in style with a segment that could easily rank among the most entertaining of the year. Roman Reigns opened the night to a thunderous ovation as the crowd broke into songs and chants multiple times. 

Once the cheers settled, ‘The OTC’ admitted to a harsh reality. While the WWE Universe still acknowledges him as their Tribal Chief, he knows he’s not the same man he once was. And there’s some truth to that. His championships are gone, the Bloodline has crumbled, and his Wiseman has moved on, who is now serving as ‘The Oracle’ for Seth Rollins. 

Reigns said that everything Cody Rhodes predicted a year ago has come true, thanks to ‘The Vision’. He even jabbed at Big Bronson Reed, mocking the powerhouse for flaunting Reigns’ shoes around his neck. That’s when Paul Heyman appeared, accompanied by Reed. ‘The Wiseman’ reminded everyone that it had been five years since he first aligned with Reigns to begin the Bloodline saga. 

He said he loved Reigns then and still loves him now, which is why he showed up to give him some “tough love.” But Heyman admitted he wasn’t man enough to deliver it himself, leaving that role to the 330-pound Reed. Reigns wasn’t intimidated. He told Reed he had one chance to walk to the ring, hand back the shoes, and acknowledge him as the Tribal Chief. Reed smirked and shot back, calling himself the ‘Tribal Thief.’

The exchange only escalated. Reed claimed that he, too, was Samoan, saying Roman Reigns did not earn his tattoos and pride while Reed did. Fans booed when he declared himself as “the Samoan that [Roman’s] father warned him about.” The crowd then chuckled when Reigns responded with a sharp insult where he said, “Your a*s belongs to me.” 

He demanded that Reed come down, acknowledge him, and apologize to the fans for wasting their time. Reed refused, prompting Reigns to storm up the aisle and ignite an all-out brawl. The fight spilled into the ring, where Reed nearly swiped another pair of Reigns’ sneakers before Roman stopped him. 

Reed countered with a crushing senton, forcing security to intervene. Even then, the chaos didn’t stop. Roman Reigns landed a Superman Punch that sent Reed scrambling as the Tribal Chief chased him down, with the two continuing to brawl to the crowd’s delight. 

Roman Reigns gives a veteran advice to Jey Uso ahead of Clash in Paris

Roman Reigns wasn’t done for the night yet. Backstage, Jey Uso was seen deep in conversation with Reigns. For the unversed, Uso is set to face CM Punk, LA Knight, and Seth Rollins in a Fatal-4-way bout for the World title at Clash in Paris. 

The OTC advised his cousin to stop trying to fix everything and everyone, telling him to focus solely on smashing the competition and reclaiming the gold in the French capital. Uso admitted that his mind was all over the place.

My mind’s everywhere Uce! Got LA Knight, CM Punk beefing over here. I don’t know who to trust. Got the four-way at Clash in Paris.

That’s when Reigns stepped in with some blunt, veteran advice for the former World Champion and his cousin.

The last thing you ever want to do… is trust CM Punk. What’s going on? Why you so all tight? You act like you ain’t done this for 20 years now. Man, stop worrying about it…It ain’t about making friends, it’s about capturing these moments and locking in our legacy.

Reigns’ words to Uso carried a strong message of focus and self-belief. The former WWE Champion reminded his cousin of the pivotal role he played during their Bloodline era and even acknowledged his efforts in helping shape today’s locker room. 

However, Reigns made it clear that while earning trust, supporting family, and strengthening the company are admirable, now is the time for the former World Champion to put himself first. He urged Uso to shift his mindset from helping others to building his own legacy, telling him to “smash them all” and bring the championship back home where it rightfully belongs.
