Proving the earlier reports true, Roman Reigns will indeed feature in a rare television match, next month on the occasion of WWE Raw premiering on Netflix. In an interesting match, the two Tribal Chiefs of the WWE will be colliding to determine who the OTC is on a night that’s being touted to change the professional wrestling business as we know it.
As confirmed on last night’s Smackdown, Roman Reigns appeared in a promo session where he officially challenged Solo Sikoa to a tribal combat match for the Ula Fala, a necklace that signifies him as the tribal chief. Later that night, the announcers confirmed the bout for the Netflix premiere of WWE Raw on January 6 in Los Angeles at the Intuit Dome.
Smackdown also marked the first time that we saw Roman Reigns on WWE TV since Survivor Series 2024, a couple of weeks ago. In the pre-taped vignette, he said it’s been a rough year. He lost his Title, he lost his Wiseman, he lost his Bloodline, but most importantly, he lost his Ula Fala.
