A young WWE fan caught Roman Reigns’ attention this week through her endearing impersonation shared on social media. The viral moment began when a father named Cody posted a video of his two-year-old daughter mimicking The Tribal Chief’s mannerisms on X.
The clip quickly spread across wrestling social media after Cody tagged Reigns, WWE, Pat McAfee, and fan accounts in his post. Reigns responded by sharing the video with his followers, adding a single emoji to show his appreciation for the tribute.
The interaction follows Reigns’ latest television appearance, where he defeated Solo Sikoa in a Tribal Combat match during RAW’s Netflix premiere on January 6. The bout determined possession of the Ula Fala and recognition as The Tribal Chief.
Paul Heyman appeared on SmackDown to celebrate Reigns’ triumph over Sikoa and declare him the “Only Tribal Chief.” During this segment, The Wiseman revealed Reigns would participate in the 2025 Royal Rumble match.
Recent reports suggest Heyman’s announcement may have deeper implications. Wrestling observers note potential tension between The Wiseman and Reigns, stemming from Heyman’s alleged debt to CM Punk. This situation could affect the Royal Rumble match outcome.
The possibility of Heyman’s interference aligns with reports of a planned WrestleMania 41 match between Reigns and Punk in Las Vegas. WWE may pursue this direction given The Rock’s reported unavailability for the event.
