Friday Night SmackDown was kicked off by the Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns. Emanating from St. Petersburg, Florida, the Head of the Table looked energized by the Holiday Season Spirit. He quickly got to business by teasing the crowd about his plan to reveal the next person in line to become the Tribal Chief. As can be seen in the post, it was none other than the Enforcer, Solo Sikoa.

The Undisputed WWE Universal Champion felt grateful for his cousin who has sacrificed a lot for an entire year. He only had one thing on his mind, keeping his family on top of the mountain. What followed next was a depiction of brotherly love as both Solo and Roman embraced each other.

All of this happened in front of Jimmy Uso, who looked bashful and chagrined. It shouldn’t be too surprising because the former Undisputed Tag Team Champion was grinning from ear to ear, anticipating his name to be declared as the new Head of the Table. His pain was heightened when he got invited to congratulate his brother.

Their joy was momentary as the Viper, Randy Orton made his entrance. What could’ve been an evening of celebration for Solo Siko was cut short by the Viper, threatening Roman Reigns. He reasoned how Reigns took away 18 months of his career. Now it is his turn to take everything away from him.

Roman Reigns hits another Milestone as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion

WWE Universe has witnessed the Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns with gold around his waist for so long that the titles have become a part of his overall character. However, it doesn’t rule away the necessity to keep an eye on the nature and longevity of his title reign. Keeping in line with the latest statistics, Roman Reigns has reached another milestone of 1,202 days as the Universal Champion.

Reigns is very close to surpassing the 1,237-day, second reign of Bruno Sammartino. He would achieve this milestone by the time he competes at the Royal Rumble. Meanwhile, after being absent for more than a month from the WWE programming, the Head of the Table made his return on Friday Night SmackDown emanating from the state of Florida.

He expressed his desire to name the next Tribal Chief and presented Solo Sikoa as the foremost candidate in line. The celebratory mood soon got drained as Randy Orton emerged to challenge Reigns. Setting his eyes on the gold, he challenged him to a match at Royal Rumble. Reigns dismissed the idea and soon took his leave by making Jimmy the bastion against the Viper.
