WWE analyst Sam Roberts outlined a scenario for The Rock’s anticipated return on RAW’s Netflix premiere, suggesting a confrontation with Roman Reigns following the Tribal Combat match. Speaking on the Notsam Wrestling podcast, Roberts proposed The Rock could challenge Reigns’ leadership position within the family hierarchy.
“Maybe Roman Reigns wins the Ula Fala back and is The Tribal Chief again, with something that’s like white and gold. I would say an Ula Fala that’s like white and gold and goes, ‘Yeah, except I’m The High Chief. I come from Peter Maivia, okay?'” Roberts explained.
The Rock last appeared at Bad Blood in October, where he made a cryptic gesture toward Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and Jimmy Uso. Reports indicate his return is expected for the January 6, 2025, edition of RAW on Netflix.
Roberts suggested this confrontation could lead to a WrestleMania 41 match focused on family hierarchy rather than championships. “Now, what we’re settling is not about championships anymore. It’s about Tribal Chief vs. High Chief. And that’s how you get to a main event of WrestleMania without Cody Rhodes or Gunther being involved at all,” he stated.
